You'll find this site very homey, informative and helpful. I think Russell was just trying to say...many of us visited for the first time and felt so at home, that we just 'moved in' permanently.
No, we aren't heavily moderated here...we don't have to be. We are a family like no other. Everyone respects each other, welcomes all opinions, and follows the 'golden rule'. You know...the one where you treat everyone how you would like to be treated...
Don't worry about the learning...you'll find it just happens by osmosis around here... You'll always find someone is handy to answer your questions or concerns.
Again, welcome and I hope you enjoy your visits as much as we will enjoy having you here.
