Welcome to the Boards Garth! I tried to make the Guide as helpful as possible, but if you are friends with Thomas, you're in good hands! (thumbs u

I would just like to say one thing to new members and that is what not to do which is what I did. If you just show up and start posting, thinking you are giving out information, you will look like a little kid who goes into a hospital, hears some doctors discussing a broken bone and stops to tell them what a bone is. There are so many things that you do not even realize are flying over your head, and inevitably you will be mocked. There are several threads that are recommended to bring you at least somewhat up to speed. Ask questions, sure, but if you think you are going to school these guys you will be sorely mistaken.

I have to learn everything the hard way.

Like not to play with fireworks, for example.

I live eat and breath comic books. I would spend 2 hrs a day reading about them and looking at books and I still regularly get schooled.
