This great! Thanks, Pierre! No one will forget that this is a violin/fiddle site, but since the mandolin is so closely related to the violin in terms of tuning and usage (in bluegrass and traditional music), it's nice to have a place to discuss mandolin-related topics, especially since so many of us fiddlers also play mandolin. This way, we don't have to leave our Fiddlerman home and go elsewhere.
