Morning everyone. I've been lurking around here for a few weeks and decided that it might be interesting to jump in and become part of the community. A little background - my formal training is in computer science; I'm a programmer by day. My main interest in these forums is in the conspiracy theories section; when I was in high school, before I knew better, I read one of Jim Marrs's books on the JFK assassination and wrote my senior research paper on the conspiracy. Not too long after, I realized what a drooling loon he is, and I've regretted writing that paper ever since. Nevertheless, the analysis and debate over even the most stupid minutiae fascinates and engages me. Since then, my main area of focus has been 9/11 Twoof, which I have studied fairly intensely, but since coming here, other conspiracy theories of a more technical nature have also caught my attention. It's been fun to learn so much about so many things in so short a time.
