Bill [:)] First, let me welcome you to the forums. I think that after a while you will enjoy them. Second, you will find out that the forums are a "family" type atmosphere and that those of us who do have numerous stars are very helpful not only in modeling issues but in "life" issues as well. I did post some in the NES but have since stopped. The coffee shop is meant for casual "off topic" chat and is frequented by those of us who enjoy spending "virtual" time with other forum family members. There are at least 3 coffee shops on this website. Thirdly, the more you chat with your new "family" members the more you will enjoy and look forward to their posts and chats. Each forum has its "main members" who help others and contribute to the general knowledge of that forum. You will soon learn who they are. Personally I am an "encourager" and try very hard to help and encourage my forum family every chance I have. Even in light heardted banter you can help and encourage. The more you participate in the forums the more you will want to get to know the forum family. I receive many emails and have added many forum members to my "addy list". We not only share comments on the forums but also through emails and believe it or not on the telephone. I have phone numbers and address of many of the forum members. I have received "items" in the mail from them and have sent items to forum members both in the states and Canada. Erik (Bergie) pointed out a while back that if we were to put all the forums members in a room and let them chat that the main topics would be modeling, railroading, and trains, for a while, then eventually the topics would change to other things. If you look through the forums you will find this is true. There is a lot to learn about modeling, about railroading, and about "life" here in the forums. Jump in with both feet and get "wet", enjoy the swim, enjoy the chat, and when you leave, leave the forum in better shape that it was when you came in. Then the next day do the same, and soon you will discover that the forums are not only filled with knowledge but are entertaining too. I have made many new friends here in the forums and look forward to meeting as many as possible in the coming years. I look forward to meeting you too. Thanks for joining the forum family. I like BIG families. [;)] [:D] [:)] Have a super day, and pass it on so someone else can enjoy it. [:)]
