Since every day our ranks grow with new enlistments to the hobby and these Newbies bring with them the same questions asked by countless prior Newbies I am compiling a basic primer with links to various questions, answers and subjects commonly asked by freshmen. As more topical subjects come to my attention I will add them to the below list and occasionally “re-post” for the benefit of the newest among us.
