Sir K, if you had checked out her profile you would have noticed that she has her picture up and going now.
I would suggest that as everyone becomes more at home with the IW family that they update their profile and share a little more. I think that it promotes understanding and makes this a better site.
Personally I visited IW and checked out the BG2 forum for more than a year before I joined. Chalk it up to paranoia on my part. Since I've joined I have found this to be a great place. I've come into contact with many great people and have improved my computer skills as well.
