My 1st post & how I found this place (warning VERY LONG)

Yikes!

Thanks to those who have taken pity on me. I don't know the abbreviations--tl; dr and it took me awhile to figure out the NVG even (sorry again- it just seemed like this was an "off topic" place for items not fitting in elsewhere which I thought was what my intro was). Don't know what the pic or ban comment means, either. Sigh.

I've said enough to last, I guess. Will shut up from now on and just try to read.

Thanks again to those who were sincere and nice. It was a rough ride getting here and I guess I just got excited.

Welcome.

Don't feel like the new kid at the grade school lunchroom. Just sit down wherever you like and start talking to whomever you like about whatever you like.

Don't let the table of cheerleaders over there or the other table of jocks intimidate you.

You'll find a wide spectrum of experiences in the different forums. Try 'em all out, and don't take any crap.

Good luck.
