Hi,
I don't get out much and a bit timid, so I fear close to the edge. :(

In my alter ego as a signed-up contributor to the Flat Earth Society Forum, I've made several posts in support of Flat Earth belief. For this I've been showered with praise by the regulars (they don't get many like me....).

Should I disabuse them? :twisted:

Perhaps I am typical of "certain members on this Forum"....?
