just wanted to...

Hi Mike!
I'd like to join with the others in welcoming you to the forum. As you can see there is always great excitement to have new members come in as everyone is anxious to know your particular field of collecting or interest. There is tremendous knowledge pooled in our international network of members, and the threads are an archives of material on all manner of ethnographic weapons and items.

Your choice of 'forum handle' is extremely intriguing!!! I have always been extremely curious how many members have selected the fascinating names they use, and I can imagine there are very interesting stories to go with them.

The chupacabra is a recent phenomenon in popular culture/folklore and I only recall the term from an episode of "X-Files" some time ago.

Very much looking forward to hearing more on your interests, and again welcome to the forum !!

All best regards,
Jim
