Can't believe as cool as the brothers are on the forum it took you so long to speak up! Welcome anyway and say something controversial so we can start the initiation process and give you a hard time until everyone gets to know you better.
If you've been reading that long and still want to participate, I'm not sure why you think you're done with creepiness.
Seems to me like you just decided to embrace it.
I've always felt like there were probably people out there, reading my posts, and thinking "man, that guy is really incredibly awesome, I should join this forum someday"
I'm just gonna tell myself that's why you joined, cool? Cool
