Welcome Kes
I'm 3 months old now here (+ give or take a few days extra) and I can honestly say I've never met such a bunch of diverse and friendly members as here that it is so addictive I just can't ignore the forums!
'OVER THERE' I participated on the forums a couple of times, and each time I got 'ousted' by the diehards who really believe they know everything (sad) so never went back again but rather I emailed original OP's with my solutions.
I've sold a few things already (all from members here so far) and I'm really happy with how things are going right now.
