A late welcome here as well, mike, but glad to hear you finally came to your senses regarding that toppik s**t, bro!.
It's a great feeling when you see how free you can be, welcome to the world of "slydom", as I call it.
And don't worry what anyone might say, just hold that head high and be confident. It shows them you're doing what you want to do for you. It will probably make some people who might be inclined to say some stupid remarks to back off too.
Enjoy your new found freedom, and keep it sly!
