ah, welcome, vestes, welcome indeed! I hope that this day has found you well! And may night find you as equally well, for every new member to the forum is like another star added into the great firmament of our reasoned discussions.
...be kind to our great constellation, vestes, and do not bend our proport amiss, but incline our thoughts with demonstrations of your genius and good manner. Always prefer diplomacy, my good friend, and measure your compliments with all considerations that favor amiable gestures of good faith and artfulness.
