hi,

i am new here as a poster, long time lurker.  it is a good place with good people.  You have built a stong community. It is really good to see. I hope I can add to this.

The main reason I haven’t posted before is because I haven't felt that I had anything to bring to the community.  I am pretty adept at reading faq's and following instructions, and have always found the answers by searching, research, experimenting and having a smart chemist friend.

I am quite ocd about harm reduction and lab practice, sure the chemicals might not be super poisonous, but they are dangerous, a lot more dangerous than say cooking food, or food ingredients.  I feel they should be treated with the appropriate respect. there is no need for sloppyness.

i am in my 30's and i dont take drugs anymore.  not for any real reason other than i dont want to get put in a cage or lose my job. I have a lot of previous experience though  I have an alright chemistry background, but I am better at physics and maths, as you will probably come to see.  I really enjoy understanding why and how things happen.

i hope thats enough to give you an idea of what I am about. I look forward to hopefully adding something positive to the forums.
