I was on vacay this week and could not get on my computer, too much family around.  I'm back now, and will resume my feeble attempts to help the newbies.

We all owe a debt of gratitude to you for shouldering the main burden of enlightening the newbies who come here.

Long may you run, and I hope your vacation was the tits.

Appreciate the props, deserved or not.  And I do really appreciate the help you and the other HUA's do for the newbs.  I'll be here as long as admin lets me.

keeping this board on track for its intended purpose as a guide to new providers and hobbyists alike.  We unpaid assistants (if I may speak for others) do attempt to help when we can.

As a newbie I am grateful for the present and past posts of experienced member of this community such as yourself.  Your honesty, while sometimes blunt, saves me a lot of time and unnecessary worry.  I appreciate your taking the time to review the Newbie board.
