Hello Lumos,

Welcome to the Nexus.  Thanks so much for writing that great Introduction Essay - it was a pleasure to read and not at all too long.  I love reading these things and well written ones always grab my attention.

It sounds like your life path to date has truly been amazing.  With much more to come I am sure . . . .

Please take a good look around - this place is huge and quite absorbing, especially for what I call information junkies.

I hope you will choose to actively participate here as I suspect you will make a fine addition to our community.  Again, welcome to the Nexus.
