Welcome from Southern California!
Basically the best way to think of this board is like a group of friends you visit on a regular basis. And if you have questions, please ask them - people will do their best to give you an answer based on their knowledge and experience. And if you see a question and you have an answer, please feel free to chime in.
We do our best to help and support one another. And sometimes too you just need to vent or tell someone of your sorrow with no where else to turn - we listen then too.
It's a great place for men and women to share all kinds of things.
Oh and don't forget to share your accomplishments too - we love to see what others are working on and finished items.
Hope that helps.
