Okay, I'll do a little introduction of myself, because Kong asked and someone else was trying to guess. :) I'm not real big on introductions or welcomings of myself, however. I'd rather welcome and introduce others.
I've lived in Hattiesburg for the past 25 years, which makes me at least 25 and I would think pretty much a native 'burger. I lived close to HB before that, which by inference makes me over 25. :)
I'm married and have 2 kids. The "bill" in "wilebill" is part of my real name. Sometime. :) The "wile" part should be pronouned "while" and is really the southern pronunciation of "wild". I just like spelling it that way to make people wonder what it really means. :)
The radioactive avatar I chose is pertinent to my occupation. Sometime. :) I have a background in a construction-related field and also a background in a technology-related field. I don't have a degree in anything, I pretty much taught myself what little I know and/or learned it on the job, depending on which field you're talking about. I'm constantly trying to learn new things about my fields and other things that interest me.
I generally frequent industry-related BBs, so this is the first one of this kind that I've actually registered with. I prefer to remain mostly anonymous, not so much because I don't want anyone to know who I am, but by using screen names people won't necessarily draw preconceived notions about another person.
That's pretty much it. Nice to be here.
