gentlemen,
allow me. i shall attempt to converse with him in Academese, something which i've acquired at a pretty painful cost.
the rule is to use ten words when one will suffice!

ryan bailey,
do allow us to most heartily extend a sagacious welcome to your presence within our midst, which will no doubt enlighten us in a delightful exchange of reasoned opinions as to your multiple areas of expertise.
for current purposes of introduction, i will temporarily acquire a role which has been theretofore played most expertly by
glyn, and press upon you congratulations for having, in quite a detailed and erudite manner, satisfactorily completed your profile.
in such a method we are better acquainted in some small way with you, and thus will be in a better position to acknowledge your interests and thereby direct you to the proper areas of discussion in which your expert opinion can be seen alongside with those of our already existing members.
