I noticed that dear Alpha, even though he's been here all this time, hasn't created an introduction thread. I'd like to create this "honorary" one for him on his behalf. I hope he won't mind.

Througout the time he's been here, I have come to know that he's the bestest, most coolest person I ever had the fortune of meeting (ok, wait, after my wife, of course... don't want to get in trouble with the begum hehe :-[).

This, is a tribute to you, oh Alpha. Welcome and enjoy your stay. :)
