Hi, my name is Bob, and Frank is my friend here (from Australia) who introduced me to your excellent forums site. 
I'm Canadian, duh (it's in my title), and I luv everything we create (audio/video). ...Plus paintings, sculptures, photographs, designs, all that creative jazz.
I also play music (guitars, flutes, harmonicas, pianos) for roughly forty-five years. ...Non-professional.
I built my first loudspeaker when I was sixteen.
And my first r.a.d.i.o. (AM Mono) was given to me by my GrandMa on my sixth birthday.
I bought my first turntable when I was twelve, I think.
Anyway, Music and Cinema have always been my passions in life.
And I took courses at school on some of these disciplines, plus I worked on those disciplines as well.
And I planted over two million trees, mainly on the West Canadian coast.
So I know a thing or two about trees and forests.
Some of my own trees are hundred feet high.
I am much more than that, but for now that would suffice.
Have a great weekend everybody,
Bob

Thx Canucks, and Aussie Franky mate (he's my bud I was referring to before).
My main mansion is in Victoria, and I also have a fishing 'shack' in Mill Bay, and a 'sanctuary' in Duncan area. Plus Mayne Island is another 'refuge'.
By the way, I got trees on the Charlottes (Queen Islands).
Any of you guys who have ever been there?

Alright, my turn.
1. How long or how many posts do I need before they go through immediately?
2. About my signature? I looked to sign for one but helas couldn't find anything.
3. There are numbers (post counts); but somehow hidden.
4. I hate any type of reputation system. ...But I'll live.
5. No [Visitor Messages] box?
6. Only 50 PMs allowed?
7. There seems to be some real cool (nice) folks here.
8. Planet10, yes, I am very much into Illuminati. Dave, you're in my town.
9. Ryan, you are my neighbor.
10. Cal, I can tell you have a good sense of humor.
11. Frank, you were right; good bunch here. ...And all from my island too.
Enjoy the rest of your weekend everyone,
Bob

Now, what else you wanna know?
When can I be your friend?
Typically 5
In the user Control Panel (CP)
In a member's profile. You can look at a list under Community>Member List
Nothing formal, everybody keeps one in their head i'm sure.
????
One of the things you get more of when you become a donor. You can turn it off as well.
All kinds, from all over. You'll eventually run into some grumpies
Are you sure it is not my town? I'm happy to share. Jeff & Chris & more are local. We may even know each other. I was at Sound Hounds for 5 years.
Watch out for FNORDS
He just moved from Victoria
And likes beer. You can meet him at next year's VI diyFEST

Dave, I recall a Dave who used to work at Sound Hounds!
And I believe that once he sold me a Rotel CD player, and another time he terminated a pair of interconnects for me (soldered the RCA connectors; like a pro).
And thank you for answering all my questions.
* I am tres familiar with the User CP. ...But there was no 'Signature Editing' there.
** A [Visitor Messages] box is a place under your profile when each time one member go there he/she can leave a message (post a note). ...Do you go out sometimes?
*** Ya, I know exactly where it says how many posts each member has; I was just reiterating it.
**** Five posts, yup, got that now.
***** No sweat, I know the score regarding PMs, thanx for reminding me.
****** What is FNORDS?
One day at a time. I'll go real slow but surely so, just as tomorrow go...
I'm happy to be here among some friends who live in 'my' town.
And by the way, did I say that I was French? ...I believe so. And I also always type with only one finger, very true. ...And a treeplanter, I was.
Bests to you all,
Bob
