To All:

Ok, we seem to have gotten all of the introductions out of the way now.
We seem to have a huge user base that spans the globe.  Some are
Masons, Demolay's, OES's, Rainbow Girls, and Job's.

I'm glad to report that we also have an almost equal number of
non-Masons here.  That's terrific.  Most of the problems Masonry seems
to face these days stems from a lack of knowledge about Masonry
going out to non-MasonsFROM ACTUAL MASONS.  And an abundance
of anti-Masonic conspiracy nonsense going out to Non-Masons from
anti-Masonic non-Masons who would have no way of knowing.
Hopefully we can use this forum to keep Masons around the globe
connected as well as letting our interested non-Masons in on FACTUAL
INFORMATION RATHER THAT NONSENSICAL CONJECTURE.

Let's get some really meaty topics going now.  We have basically
covered the necessary introductions.  If you have not introduced
yourself, please do so, and in doing so, think of a question or a topic
for discussion.  Let's get the fires of substantial conversation
burning.
