Welcome Moderators!

[Dr_Woland]

by coincidence, when Putin was elected, the London Times called me and asked for my professional opinion on the likely outcome of this:

As far as I remember, neither Lenin nor Stalin were on the editorial board. But then, Ron has difficulty understanding what an editor is - he thinks it's a policeman.

Well, bless my soul! I thought ILay was a woman too. I saw the pictures posted by ILay and he is pretty enough to be a girl.

Dr_Woland congrats on the moderator position. I will be watching to see how close Nonson pushes at the limits....one of his favorite past times.

On a personal note: Nonson are you well?

Well, definetely my fault!

I should introduce my self earlier.

My real name is Ilia Klimakov.
Just like Dr.Woland I'm using the nick ILay quite long ago having it even before I became internet-addictive.

I.m 25 years old, male
I live in St.Petersburg, Russia. In the one of the most beautiful places of the world called Pushkin (former name Tsarskoye Selo or Tsar Village - summer residence of the rulers of Russia).

My educational background is Law and Economics. Presently I'm an Executive MBA student graduation spring 2001. I work in a Transportation biz.

I'm happily married but have no kids yet (but we work on it ).

My hobbies are reading, computers, inet, mountain skiing, music and a lot of other things.

For those who think I'm pretty enough to be a girl ( ) please check the photos downbelow (as I mentioned I neither have a digital camera nor a scanner so I had to search the internet for them )

Those photos were filmed on a meetings of the members of another Bulliten Board so please forgive me my filled with beer face.

All the best to you!

forgot to mention that I am the one with the grey sweater (no any of the pretty girls nearby )

[SandyO]

Just saw each of your new pictures ILay. yep, you look more like a male in these, but you are still pretty.

Congratulations on graduating this spring. My youngest daughter will also be graduating then as well. Yea!! Her major is Psychology and her minor is Criminal Justice. She plans to be a High School counsellor.

I worked for a long time in domestic and international traffic and transportation. I really liked that kind of work and miss it very much. Life has a way of pointing you in a different direction at times, and this is what happened to me.

Oops! Talking too much here. Have a nice day.

SandyO:

maybe you were confused by all those photos on the sit I mentioned?

Actually they are just the standard thumbnails of the site-building engine I was using (on www.chat.ru) so there is only one photo of mine - the left one. Others are not of me

Criminal Justice? Wov!
That's what I was never strong in. (Hope your daughter will have more success in it than I had)
I was specializing in International Private Law (Maritime law) and Civil Law.

Which industry were you working in?
If shipping - we could have a lot to discuss (I LOVE my job!!!)


What do you do now?
(oops, now I talk too much). Will put it as a new topic.

[Nonson]

SandyO,

I am quite well. It is so kind of you to inquire. Now I have at least one other person who might suffer miserably if I departed cyberworld.

As for pushing at the edges of the envelope, it somehow being a practice of mine. Your accusation is not that of a wholly kind person. Perhaps you are mis-construing the purpose of my acts. So please let me explain my motive.

I go in search of ideas as though I might be hunting big game. But worthwhile ideas are not everyday occurrances: the reason being there's not enough people using their brains. So in order to finding those goodly ideas of which I search it becomes necessary to motivate others to use a little more grey matter. How is this done?

By being a Pain in the [HINTER TEIL - CHANGED BY A MODERATOR]. A rudimentary form of pyschology that predicts that an angry person often reveals loads of useful information about him/her-self and his/her environment, etc., etc. The idea is actually Pavlovian, in a sense.

Nonson
