Hello all,

I thought I should introduce myself since I finally made a post here. I've been visiting this site for years, but have only recently decided to contribute to the community.

I have been interested in maps and mapping for many years. A world atlas in the living room was the first exposure. After that the maps of Merp and Harn inspired me. More recently I have become enamored of 18th and 19th century maps of America and Eurpoe.

Watching this community grow over the years, I have been extremely impressed by the evolution of the members' skills. This strikes me as evidence that this site has really worked to provide some of the functions of a real 'guild'.

In any case, I look forward to spending some time here.
