Now I’m new to blogging, so you all are going to have to take it easy on me.

But before we get any further, let’s all take a moment to consider something about this new account. Will announced it yesterday and, given appropriate uptake time, three others (myself included) registered. Then, I email the crew and, with my incredible wit and newfound organizing savvy – learned on the campaign hills of Vermont – I further publicize the blog. Result: FOUR new members sign-up. Clearly, I am the reason we are all here.

In light of this, I nominate myself to be 9S.com Sergeant at Arms (Potter, the pun was, in fact, not intended). Now let’s put it to a vote. All those in favor….

“yay!”

All those opposed….

. . . . . .

The yays have it. I win.

As my first action in my new capacity, I am installing Will as operations administrator of the 9s blog.

Now, I would like to welcome everyone to the blog. Please check back soon, as I might just write a little something…

oh, and so there is no confusion, this is Daniel F. Cross-Call. “DanCC” is just a pseudonym I sometimes use. Alright, now the rest of you cowards can come out from behind your masks. (Thank you Andrew Hoffman for showing some spine.)

yours,
Daniel
