Greetings.
You are now witness to my having stumbled across this page...

I think an introduction page is a fantastic idea and I love the fact that people from the world over subscribe to this site.

I have made a point of traveling much of the world, and from the US to Western Europe, Eastern Europe, the Middle East, India, Asia, etc, one person I have had the fortune of coming across time and again is that person who loves metal.

I don't know what metal is to you, but to me it is that thing that many of us dig more than it makes sense to. I meet a man somewhere in the world and we are strangers; we find out that we are both into metal and we are friends - though it has happened dozens of times, it still amazes me.

It is good to meet you - shout back if you know what I am talking about.
