Greetings!

Hello All!
I've been lurking for a while now and decided to stop being lazy and actually sign up. I'm a lifelong fan of the works of FH. I first read Dune over 20 years ago, when my dad gave me a copy that he had read and enjoyed. Been hooked ever since. I have read a lot of sci-fi in my time but Dune has always been my favourite in the genre. I recently upgraded my battered paperbacks with the newly released hardcover editions and having re-read all six I wanted to find somewhere to hang out and chat with like minded folks who share a passion for the works of FH. I have to say there are some very knowledgable people around here and I look forward to participating on these boards. When looking for a forum I did check out DN but the less said about that place the better. Oddly it was the censorship and poor treatment of those who do not enjoy KJA's writing that lead me here! I have read some of his 'Dune' and was not impressed to say the least. His latest attempt to denounce FH's canon had my blood pressure soaring and it was good to find a forum dedicated to the true Dune novels. Thanks also to Freakzilla for responding to me so quickly by email and sorting out my account activation.
