Hiya Starkimarki,
Just had to say, I think your profile name is a hoot. Although, I dont think the Mark's in my circle are going to thank you. They're both going to be "Starkimarki" from now on.
Any Folio books, you'd recommend? I hear they have a sale on and I'm itching to order my first ones.
Cheers
