I am a newbie. Please bear with me for a moment (or three).

Seems to me there is a lot of great stuff here.  I don't usually stick my head up through the internet hatch to say anything, but this place has sort of called my name.

I don't have a lot of time to dedicate to this, but I'm hoping my perspective will contribute to the stew on an occasional basis.

My gratitude to Mr. Kos and the many who make this place what it is.
