I'm glad to see that you are here to watch over the interests of strangers. Although I don't know any of these people on this board, I do have a fondness for them ( well, maybe with one or two exceptions) so I do hope everyone does well here and is not misled by any singular individual who doles out bad advice, be it kind words or ones laced with fear.

Sooner or later, even the newbies will have to stretch their wings and fly away from the nest of the "Good, honest" posters and learn to read the signs of B.S. on their own, so I'm just warning you that it's a long road. You gonna be with us for a good long while?

Anyways, no hard feelings if your intentions are good.

Just my two bits
