Greetings -

Well, got one off my DPL plate a few minutes ago, so I have room for a new one.

I promise I will do my best to restrain myself from sharing all the puns that are coming to my mind.

Greetings -

Inkell starts us off with a PL OK rendering of Section 1.

I would mark it so in the MW but it doesn't like me yet for this book. :shock: :shock:
