Welcome Buff. Thanks for your input. As you get to know your way around here you may want to check out this link
http://www.eccie.net/announcement.php?f=5 All three of the owners have chimed in on that thread. It is our board guidelines and will help guide you as to the do's and don'ts of the board,
Our local moderator, Ffireman will probably chime in and remind you not to post in a thread that has had no activity for 30 days. (as you did here). If you look at the post above yours, post #8 in this thread, you will see on the left hand side that that post was made on April 15. Any post after May 14 or 15 is in violation of the guidelines.
The good news is, you likely will only be publically asked to not do it again. In the case of more "severe" guideline violations, you can be pointed and/or banned. When I was a moderator here, I only banned 2 or 3 handles in our forum (several more in Austin).
Good luck and welcome to our happy little corner of the hobby.
Respectfully,
OldSarge
