Revision as of 18:07, 10 September 2007
Greetings My Lady,
I am sure your fingers must be well stained in ink from all the edits you have made to Cunnan. It is nice to see a new face here. How about you tell us a bit about yourself on your biog page.
I am curious about your edit to the Nun page though. Do you feel the comments about celibacy and pets were incorrect or inappropriate?
