No, you don't have to stand up front and tell us all about yourselves (unless you want to, anyway) but I'd like to be able to keep track of who's who and what's up.  Would everyone who intends to participate in this class please sign in on this thread?

Also, be aware that, while each of you retains ALL OWNERSHIP of all of your work, by signing in, you are acknowledging that you've been informed and agree that, within the confines of this class-room environment anything you post may be quoted for purposes of discussion.  Sorry to go all legal on you, but I've been stuck in this position before and actually had someone tell me that I could not quote him, his work, his critiques or any of his comments in that class due to International Copyright Laws.  (That's unrealistic anyway, but I want to remove any causes of dispute before they happen.  We're here to learn, and that can't happen if anyone want's to play PrimaDonna with the copyright laws.)

Okay?
