banshee,
As we stated elsewhere, we haven't checked in at the Newbie forum for a few days, and it seems that we missed welcoming you, so . . .
WELCOME to the John Wayne Message Board!
As Popol Vuh so aptly stated, this is a friendly and knowledgeable bunch, and its not hard to hang out here. We hope you find it to be that way too.
Keep on reading, there is so much to learn. With Jay J. Foraker bringing a myriad of older threads back to the front (he has affectionately been dubbed "the Resurrectionist" 
), you would be amazed at the wide range of discussion opportunities.
