While we're very happy to have you in the Gulch and appreciate your wanting to fully engage, some things in the Gulch (e.g. voting, links in comments) are a
privilege, not a right. To get you up to speed as quickly as possible, we've provided two options for earning these privileges.
- You must reach a Gulch score of 10. You can earn points in the Gulch by posting content, commenting, or by other members voting up your posts.
- You may upgrade to a Galt's Gulch Producer membership to immediately gain these privileges.

BTW: If you ever want to see something hysterical, you & Mr. NMA should come with me & Mrs. E to a Chinese buffet sometime.

I have been called out by male friends for flirting with the waitresses in front of my wife.
(Seriously! I'm only trying to get some immersion practice!)
I have had waitresses ask me with Mrs. E right there if I could teach them English (I politely refuse).
BTW, Mrs. E thinks it's cute.
Do you remember when JLC's character swoons over language? This does the same thing! Lol I LOVE it!

Who are these people?
I am an Open Source programmer on *nix platforms.
I will be taking a closer look at your site.
Causā facti cupiditatum eius, homo vivit.
(For the sake of the achievement of the desires of his own, a man lives)
Ex meā viā, fugi!
(Out of my way, flee!)
(If speaking to more than one person, use "fugete" rather than "fugi")
I hope that helps, use it if you choose.
