Hi everyone! I've been trying to keep up in the many threads to create a cheat sheet for myself when I start writing, but I have to admit I'm a little overwhelmed, especially about how to refer to folx. Hoping y'all will post here and let me know a few things so I can try to avoid reaching out one at a time. And just a reminder to please respond to Greg (James Richmond)'s birthday thread so that we spreadsheet geeks can have accurate ages for everyone and wish you a happy birthday at the right time.
