I note with pleasure that we have a number of new posters on this page, and I would like to welcome all of you. With your help, this page is rapidly becoming one of the premier international blackjack websites on the Internet.

One favor: Please take a moment to register your "handle," that is, the name you use to post.

Simply click on "Create Profile" at the top of the index page. All that is necessary is to enter your posting name (handle) and a password. You may tell us a bit about yourself if you like, but it is not required.

This will result in a number of good things:

1. I will be able to give you "bypass moderation" status. This means that your posts will appear immediately when you make them.

2. You will be able to delete your posts, if you should ever so desire.

3. No one will be able to "impersonate" you by posting using your "handle."

4. Most importantly, it will make my job easier. :-)

Your cooperation is greatly appreciated. Thank you and once again, welcome!
