Mandatory First Post

Hello. This is the mandatory 'first-post' of a long-delayed blog. I've always wanted to, but kept stopping myself for one reason or another. The most recent being 'Most blogs never get past the first post.' Yup! This very one. But then, it is after a looong time that I feel like I really need to write, want to write, had to write. So write I will, and start with something that this is probably a reaction to.

Here goes nothing!

P.S.: My apologies for the atrocious grammar.
