New and overwhelmed! - Fisherjc - 11-27-2020
Hello all members bored enough to read this! I come back and forth here over the years and see how my favorite vendor is doing but never really read the rules until I saw a few clueless posters getting blasted for breaking some common sense rules! I won’t intentionally wreak havoc or doing anything stupid, but not reading the rules seems like one... I hope to get more comments and posts in but I don’t even know if I’ve ever done a welcome post yet or how long I’ve been visiting. I hope to be useful and look forward to learning from you that have been here for years. See you soon!

Welcome fisherjc! You are off to a good start by reading the rules and understanding how important they are.
Keep doing a lot of reading, and ask questions--you'll do great. Glad to have you in the family!

Fisherjc, Welcome...
TrayGold, as always, hit the nail on the head, you made an
excellent move by reading the rules... You cannot imagine how
many "folks" we get here that seem to think the rules are for
"someone else" and not them.... They usually don't last too awfully long
after that...
You'll finds a gold mine of great info here and our members are the tops!!!
Looking forward to your insight on things ...
Oh, and absolutely no more than 5 posts in any given 24 hr period ... Period...

Welcome aboard Fisherjc. Reading the rules is paramount. The rules are just common sense. Never reveal any information that could put the vendors, members or the forum at risk. Think before you post. You’ll be glad you officially joined. You’ll find vital information to navigate these unprecedented times.

Hey Newbie,
Wow, you may be a "Newbie" but it sounds like you are a wise one
. I'll join you in a re-newed pledge to follow the rules regarding posting content and trying my best not to do anything stupid! It has been almost six months since I have been on the site and I am feeling like a newbie once again too. Your welcome message rang true for me, so thanks for your down to earth wording. I'm off to refresh myself with the rules and check for any new ones. Thanks for leaving the light on for me!

Ok, Fisherjc, welcome aboard. May you find all you need.
The basic rules...we made them up as we went and as times change...

Hello and welcome...

Welcome Fisherjc. I originally thought the rules were like those terms and conditions you automatically sign without reading. But I now know that a lot of thought and work went into creating them. They keep us and our vendors safe and allow the access to the great people and information on here to continue to be available. I really have come to cherish this forum...I’m sure you will too :-)
