Hello Steve. welcome, and you are very welcome.
You and Hurdy did not get a direct invite for one reason only and that was out of respect for the other site. We did not know how this place would be recieved by the admin and mods over there, as you can imagine we thought long and hard about what we were doing dont forget all the people involved here love the other place a lot, so it was a big step to do this.
You and Hurdy were a big part of the family over there, and hopefully a big part on here.
Please jsut be yourself and you will soon see you are appreciatted and valued same as Hurdy.
I am sorry we couldnt contact you dierectly it was not personal.
