Glad Martin finally made it into the intro. I'm looking forward to seeing (hearing) how the new format works out. Strictly speaking, Terry is correct in saying "It was just Dave and I." However, very few people would say that in colloquial English. Most of us, even natural born pedants like me, say "It's me" in answer to the question "Who's there?" This seems to be the English equivalent of the French "c'est moi". However correct it may be to say "It is I," it just sounds pompous. Great to have you back, guys.
