In response to unFalln's suggestion [goats.com], this is the first time ever that i'm starting a new discussion.
The people who participate in these forums seem to be very diverse, yet there also appear to be a number of things we have in common, in addition to our interest in this great web-comic. So i'm interested in hearing people describe two subjects:
First, what are some of the things that are unique to you? For example, who are you, where are you, in which time-zone are you located, and what things would you say might make you somewhat unique. Or, if you think it would be more interesting: what attributes do you have that are common?
Second, how did you happen to find Goats.com, and what do you think keeps you interested in the forums (rather than just visiting to read the comic, and never joining in a discussion)? What interests and ideas do you think you might share as a common denominator with most everybody else here?
Since i asked, i'll start. My name is Kevin, i live in Bellingham, Washington (state), USA. I'm in the Pacific time-zone, which means all the time-stamps on this website are three hours ahead of me. I'm not sure which of my personal characteristics are possibly unique (vis-a-vis the rest of you folks), but i'm pretty sure i'm not the only queer who participates in these discussions. I'm curious whether i'm the only one here who has AIDS.
A friend of mine pointed me to Goats.com around the 1st of this year, so i've been reading for eleven months. I eagerly rushed through the entire archive during my first few weeks here, then through most of the Ask the Animals, and nearly all of the forum discussions. It seems (to me) like most people here have excellent computer usage skills, many of you have excellent written communication skills, and i would bet that most of us have somewhat strange senses of humor.
Even though i think most people here have some familiarity with alcohol, pubs, and life as wage-slaves in the rat-race, i personally am at a point in my life where i no longer get involved with any of those areas. What about the rest of you?
