Welcome Birdy. Why don't you post some information about yourself in a new welcome thread. Tell us about your life, your work, etc. Then, just peruse around the different threads, read and post your own thoughts and sit back and enjoy. Everyone is a bit lost at first, but you will catch on to all the nuances.
