Andy,
Those are some pretty strong words for a new guy on the block, that has been around for less than a month.
As Gary said relax and enjoy the board.
Over time many topics evolve and are discussed. Some hot topics, some informational, some boring etc.
I have received great information, advice, and tips in the time I have been a member.
Recently, there has not been a lot of information that I am interested in.
Meanwhile I'll check in daily to see what's happening. When I see a topic that peeks my interest, I will jump in, ask advice, give my advice, and seek opinion.
Regards,
Jerry
