Greatings from Bruce Cook - a new guy.

This is a bodacious board!

I've seen quite a few boards decicated to Sherlock Holmes during the last few weeks, but this one is organized better than any of them.  It reminds me of my own message board, which is dedicated to science fiction.  Send me a PM if you'd like to visit there.  I don't want be one of those pushy new members who would just love to promote his own wonderful message board here and steal members from good folks who've spent years building their own members list.

(Okay, that was an obvious plug.  Pretend I didn't stupe that low and we'll move right along here.)

A little about me:  I'm convinced I'm clever, I love to lecture, and I delight in composing long and complex post which go on-and-on about how I'm thoroughly convinced I'm brilliant.

But I'm also humble.  When I realize I'm wrong about something, I delight in composing long and complex post which go on-and-one about how I screwed the pooch and shouldn't have gotten out of bed that morning.

Having said all that, I'll just say this.  I hope I succeed in informing, entertaining, and amusing the distinguished members of this fine board. I promise to never get mad when someone disagrees with me, because even though it's nice to hear when someone thinks I'm right, it's much more fun to try and change someones mind when they think I'm wrong.

And it's just as fun when someone changes MY mind!  A good debate is like a practice fencing match: you don't have to win to get a good workout!

Now, let's start having fun!

Re: Greatings from Bruce Cook - a new guy.

In case anybody is wondering why I write such wild and wacky posts -- yes, I'm a published writer -- and yes, I write science fiction.  If you get tremendously curious and want to see the books I claim to have published, look up these two on Amazon.com.

I love to write.  That's why I go hog wild on great message boards like this one.

Welcome to the forum, Bruce. I must admit I am not a big sci-fi fan myself but it is nice to have so many creative people around here. We have a brilliant cookie baker and writers and artists … Have fun.

Another published author! Wow! I love Sci Fi (Ray Bradbury and Isaac Asimov are my favourites).

Re: Greatings from Bruce Cook - a new guy.

Just want to thank the folks who bought my books from Amazon!  I noticed a spike in sales after I shamelessly promoted them in the post above.  Please send me a PM if you liked the novels.   

If you didn't like them, send a PM to somebody who thinks my posts sound stupid.
