Introduction Thread

[gredinger]

Hi everyone! My first intro thread went downhill pretty quickly... so lets try it again! This time, without causing a panic.

I'm Gene, I'm running for congress (US House). I hold a CEH certificate, and am employed in IT. I'm also a beekeeper with a single hive. I'm planning on planting a robust victory garden this year and have already started growing some plants indoors.

I'm married, a home owner, and enjoy posting on forums. ( https://xkcd.com/386/ )

Hopefully, we can all be friends.

4. Ohio

Northwest Ohio to be specific.

Normally, I try to remain anonymous in my online posts, but its time to come out in the public.

Thanks for the warm welcome!

6. Much better!

Welcome

People freaked out because this forum was seriously hacked and shut down by malicious operators on an election night.

People are therefore understandably wary of threads like the one you put up earlier

7. Scary indeed.

This is my first time interacting with a forum like this honestly. So, all a new learning experience.

Thanks for the welcome.
