mmmmmpig,
FEW statements could be more succinct than "Something witty and pithy". As far as your introduction, succinct is NOT the order of the day, as if you are too succinct, we don't get to know you.
Reading your background and understanding your feelings of stagnation, you have definitely come to the right place.
I think I might have done it before, but if not, WELCOME.
