    Hello,

    My name’s Oak, named after the tree at the back of my garden. I joined, got banned in a “purge” of inactive members, asked to be reinstated, created a new account, and here I am. Pleased to meet you!

    It must be hard for an oak not to just sit there and lurk, trees tend to be taciturn, but I'm glad the administrators decided to take a chance that you'd turn over a new leaf. Um, what species is the back of your garden oak ?

    Nice to meet you.

    Yes, us trees do tend to be rather taciturn; we do like to stand and watch. Must have turned over a new leaf indeed ;)

    You had me stumped there for a moment, asking what species I am. I thought an oak was an oak, but of course there are quite a number of types. I must be a Quercus Robur, based on my location.

    Quercus robur, that's Latin ! I love it when you speak Latin ! *

    biTsar,

    That is indeed Latin, although I can’t speak a word of it :rolleyes: I did a quick search looking for different types of oak trees. Then I had to do another search to understand your Gomez Addams reference! :)

    Bjorn,

    Thanks!

    You won't see my brother soon because he's not here at the moment, mostly he's in belgium. But my parents and dog are here, and me of course haha.

    I hope that you've the Infos about Skype that you wanted to know. but I thought that you'd said it would be the company's or university's technology, not Skype.
