Between the late hour and the oh-too-much caffeine, my wandering mind (I've got it on a leash now) keeps coming up with stuff.

One thing every site needs is a "Welcome Center" and I believe (pun intended) that TCL should be no different. Many neighborhoods have little old ladies that deliver fruit baskets and such to the new neighbors when they move into the community. Other communities, or even businesses, have someone who seems a little fruity, flaky, off their rocker...
