Hi All!

Allow me to introduce myself...

I'm yet another Yahoo expat, who is looking forward to slotting into your community and getting to know you all.

No doubt, some of you will recognise me from my ID - but I feel that I should explain it to others...

My latest Yahoo ID was thy.nemesis - but I figured that it was a tad too confrontational for a wannabe cyber refugee. Hence, I chose Thy.Equitist for OzPolitic - being a hybrid betwixt my last and first Yahoo IDs.

Anyways, I'm a quirky lefty, who has strong ideals - but I don't take myself too seriously.  Rather, I have a wicked sense of humour - and therefore, I tend to enjoy mutual love-to-hate relationships (of varying degrees) with most right whingers.

Oh, and my last Yahoo ID was originally created in jest - after 3 consecutive Monday morning blacklistings in the lead-up to the 2007 Federal election - and it inexplicably stood the test of time.

So, if anyone mentions 'Nem' or 'Nemesis' - they're probably referring to me!

Cheers

Hey everyone .. I'm Lisa Smiley

I was invited by one of my fellow Yahoo buddies Bobby The Bat .. to check out your site and well .. to join it Smiley

You may have noticed that at present there are a few of us Yahooligans who are crossing over. The main reason for this is because there's been so much nonsense happening over on Yahoo ( ie incessant flaming/trolling/stalking/boards shutting down yadda yadda yadda) .. and many of us are simply over it to be brutally honest.

I do hope your forum is well monitored/moderated.

Ohhh I almost forgot lol .. you're probably wondering who I am lol! Well ... I'm an Aussie girl (born and bred) with migrant parents who came out to Oz as young teenagers back in 1960 (from Greece and Italy). They met and married here in Oz .. and the resultant family (and clan) are all settled in Sydney and Melbourne. We're a VERY traditional family oriented European clan .. which means we're always in each other's faces and yes .. we're always celebrating something which means there's always plenty of fresh home grown and cooked food lol.

As regards my political leanings .. well I am a right wing/conservative young lady who is proud of her political lineage (both my paternal and maternal grandmothers have maiden names which are pretty famous in Fascist circles).

Oh and I am well known for being a tad cheeky <-- ie naughty lol. Pssttt .. I actually voted for Kevin Rudd back in 2007 (meh so did 99% of Australia) but shhhh my family know nothing about my political transgression lol Smiley

Lastly .. if I'm posting online during the day .. chances are that I am at work and having lunch or some other break at my desk. If I am posting at night .. chances are that I am ALSO cooking something awesome in the oven, monitoring my dishwasher and/or washing machine and/or clothes dryer .. as I get through my domestic goddess routine lol Tongue

Many thanks for your warm welcome.

Regards Lisa x

Welcome to all the new members. Please let others over at yahoo know about us. I would myself, but it is closed at the moment. I did post there a week or so ago, but I can't find it now.

Thanks for joining up Lisa.
I hope this will be a good alternative to yahoo.

I need no introduction - my 1000's of posts on Yahoo
mean that most people know much about me already
-  at least my views on many topics.  Smiley

You can go ahead and introduce yourself again here. There are a lot of regulars here who know nothing about yahoo. To be honest I was surprised that there was an active Australian politics forum that none of us had heard of (that I know of). A lot of the members here know each other from a few different forums, like cracker and political animal. I like to think there is a small community of people around, rather than a bunch of disjointed message boards.

OK - I like posting on forums.
My hobbies include astronomy.
I have a powerful telescope, computer mount & camera equipment.
I used to go
Latin American dancing & I still want to again.
I work in the electronics industry: building, designing, & testing
electronic closed loop control systems.
I am a swinging voter.
I regret voting for Rudd at the last election.
Any other questions - just ask.

We hit a new record today - 18 members online at once. I think the previous record was 14, from October 2008 (or here). I just checked and 7 of the 13 members now online look like ex yahoo members. You guys have breathed a lot of life into this place. Thanks.
