Default Yes I am a lurker...
I lurk because it is very addicting to watch and see the amazing things the people here do. I look to see what is new at least once a day. This site is also one of the windows I use to keep tabs on what my brother Gene is up to. He's always busy and lives a hundred miles away from me. I look for opportunities that I do know an answer that will be beneficial, but mostly I lurk and read.

Welcome John.

I expect growing up in Gene's shadow was an interesting experience.

He's a talented man for sure.

John, welcome to the site. Gene is a hard act to follow but I for one watch his work and posts to see if I can pick up on something new. Thanks for posting the introduction, hope you continue to enjoy the site.

Welcome aboard John! I agree, this place churns out some pretty interesting stuff that keeps me coming back often.

Me too! Your brother creates some pretty fascinating stuff, and I sort of regard his creations as a benchmark to reach for as an aspiring metal artist. It must be interesting to watch him do his thing.
