Hi, laura and Horsehead!
Welcome to TFP!
And Horsehead, I agree, we do have a very wide range of topics to discuss here. And being able to flex every aspect of your personality and interests in one place is very gratifying. I think it's one of the things that makes this community different - we get to know each other in a more "3-D" way than we might otherwise on the internet. Hope you find it to be so, too.
