[Dr. Ross -- he files that one away. His manners have relaxed a little bit since he got here, but adults are still referred to strictly by their titles until he's comfortable enough doing otherwise, and that certainly applies to a title like Doctor too.]

Nowhere close to being new here. Let's just say that I was here for last year's FanPort too, but it wasn't as busy as this one is.

[Everyone loves imPorts now that they drove off the Russians, even though it's little more than a temporary salve.]

So if you have any questions about -- well, any of this, I can do my best to answer them. I know being here for the first time is pretty freaky.
