Hey, I just realized that we are supposed to introduce ourselves first. My mistake (I'm new to blogging). Instead of starting a new thread I will just do it here, it seems like an appropriate place.
First of all, I want to say that I am grateful that the forum is in English. I really enjoy talking to people from the EU and I know it's your multilingual efforts that make that possible. My sincere thanks to you all.

I'm also new to this world of "furry". Like I mentioned before I always felt like there was something more to me that just me, and I have spent the last decade and a half trying to figure out what that was. I have always felt very closely related to the Siberian Tiger (I was also born under the year of the Tiger-Chinese Astrology-did not know this until recently), and when I played hockey in High School I always felt like he was there with me, helping me fight the battles on the ice. I can't really explain it beyond that, but I'm sure that a few know what I'm talking about. Now in my professional life I have chosen high profile jobs that continually test my resolve and character, and I have to admit it, but I still feel like he's there, keeping me from going over the edge or giving up.
To me the sprit of what is there is more important that the physical expression of it. However with all the fun I've seen on You Tube, I will admit that I am strongly considering that very option. I look forward to reading and watching more to help me take the right course of action. I also did my "furry code" using version 1.3. I hope that I did it correctly.
