Hi everybody

My name is José Carlos, but you can call me simply José. I am from Brazil. I don't think there are many foreigners here on these boards (I mean foreigners, because most of you are Americans, right?), let alone Brazilians.

I am not a young man any more, but my two kids are still very young.

I have a large range of interests. I am (or was? because I recently had my account suspended) a member of the Healthboards. I like the challenges of posting there, but the environment is somewhat hostile, especially if you offer a different point of view from the majority and also if you are a man (am I right to say they have an overt feminine bias over there?). I was suspended because I reacted to an insult.

I hope this is a more democratic forum.

I hope I can be useful here and I also hope I can learn a lot from the others.

Cheers to all.

José
