wildrose Report post Posted November 19, 2008 Bonjour! Commen t'allez vous? (Don't remember if I spelled that right) It's been a while since I spoke or wrote French, but my college professor was from France, and she had studied at the Sorbonne in Paris. She always would tease a boy in our class who was from Quebec, that his French wasn't as good. We had fun. Welcome to our group, we are glad you are here. Do not worry about your English, there are people here from all over the world. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TomSwede Report post Posted November 21, 2008 If you want to you can change the name somewhere in the settings panel, if memory serves me right but the one you have will work fine. I do think people will call you just Demeter. It is true that there is some incredible stuff here, I just don't know where people get all their ideas from but maybe this is just because leather is such a fantastic material to work with. I don't know the status with work on restoring the old site but we had a crash in Jan -08 and the backups was corrupt so all you see right now is from after that. Once we get the site restored there will be plenty more to read through. Tom Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
