[MD] Greetings, Introduction and Questions

[Carrie Lopez]

Hi John,

I've seen the signs pointing to DQ on my way outta town to the coast via the
back ways, but I've never really thought about it much.  I looked it up in
wiki and google and such and it seems an interesting story, albeit a story
that's coming to a close.

I hope I don't disappoint with the "quality" of my questions.  I don't
really think them through, just blurt whatever pops into my head at the
moment.

So far in the quest for "reasons for the moq discuss, I like yours the best!
  I think we all are looking for that connecting link to the center of our
selves.

Rest assured all, that other than that I have no particular axe to grind.
I am intrigued by a person voluntarily going through a "personality
upgrade".   How is it working out so far?

Carrie
