[Groff] Introduction

Considering all the discussion my simple (but unfortunately not explained) query has caused, I think a note of introduction is in order. My name is David, usually called Sinuhe in GNU Project circles. I have been your (the GNU Project's) chief webmaster since 2003, but have turned the reigns over
