G'day, I thought I should just pen a quick intro about yours truly as I intend, now that I've found a damn good forum, to post here quite often.
I've been looking for a good forum for quite a while now and it seems that this is most definitely it, not only does it seem to contain a wide range of topics and views, but the people posting seem to have a passion of sorts regardless of which side of the debate they follow.
These are all the ingredients required for a good forum and I very much look forward to sharing my collective knowledge and in turn look forward to learning from others.
I live in Melbourne, but was born in Birmingham UK, I've traveled rather extensively and always on a shoestring having to take some god-awful jobs on occasions to facilitate survival.
I love IT as it is the epitomy of our advancement as a species, why wouldn't I revel in our latest achievements? That's not to say that I consider our species civilized, generally speaking.
My other interests lie in anthropology, semiotics, the study of evolution in general, trying to suss out the rules by which our universe operates, and trying to get my head around what existed before the big bang, in what and why. I've done a lot of study into universal dynamics and tried to map out some constant truths /rules by which all things must abide from a micro to a macro level.
I haven’t really got very far for as many questions as I seem to satisfy myself that I've answered only give rise to twice as many more.
I like to think there's a reason for our existence, and I really don't believe in coincidence.
I find Redfield’s "celestine prophecy interesting reading as it quite closely represents what I think our place is.
Anyhow, hope I haven’t bored you too much and as said, I look forward to getting to know some of the people posting here over time.
Markus.

Thank you, your posts are very much appreciated,
One thing, please forgive my attrocious spelling, I left school at 15 due to a violent and unsettling updragging and had to spend the next few years ferreting around the streets of Birmingham, Marseilles and Amsterdam, to name a few, whereas my contempories were still hard at study.
I must say that the little I do know of the English lingo comes from the fact that what little time I did spend at school was at a reasonable one (King Edwards Camp Hill) otherwise I'd probably be well scuppered!
I've also just noticed that there is a more relevant place for welcome posts down the bottom of the intro page...D'oh...oh well, such is life.
You'll see a lot of me here because I have no life... after 13 years of marriage and 3 kids socialising was sort of knocked on the head, so now that particullar chapter has come to an apocalyptic conclusion, I'm sort of left in no-mans land but I do have this P.C and I think I know how to use it!??
So (twice 5 miles of fertile land) I'll either be here or shooting Nazi's, although I do find those FPS a bit generic, they all seem to be based on the same campaigns etc...
I've gabbled on enough, just thought I'd try and give those interested an insight into the mad mad world of yours truely,
Adios amigos,
Mark

please forgive my attrocious spelling,Hehe, you haven't look around yet have you? Your spelling is anywhere close to being poor enough.

Look at you go, you can almost spell atrocious... dear God, where have they kept you all your life? Such intellect should not be withheld...
And while that is sarcasm, my point is no one here can spell, so don't feel that you have to apologize when most of us can scarcely stand to capitalize... or punctuate... or even bother with that nifty little space bar...
