Well, I came out of the closet (aka, lurkerlocker) what, last week? I didn't jump in here right away as I wanted to read about what was going on and learn some of the rules, so as not to get flamed on my first post for doing something stupid. 15 or so posts so far and I haven't felt any heat yet. What I learned, other than the obvious things already stated, was introduce yourself, and try to add something even if it is just your own twist on things. There are an awful lot of things that we all do besides fishing, many of which are vitally necessary to know about so we can go fishing, things like good excuses, transportation advice, delicious ways to prepare fish so we will be encouraged to go catch more, or even how to make this damn 'puter do what you want it to. So don't be afraid to look around first, but don't be afraid to jump in either
