Hi,
please don't believe that everyone's like this. I've been around here for almost three years, and I think the "go check the archives first" approach is NOT the way to greet new people, old timers, or anyone else. I think it's just plain rude, especially since those of us who have bothered to try finding something in the archives know how painful it can be, especially especially when you know exactly what you want to find. Alan has mentioned this, so we do understand your frustrations there.
If there is a click (sp?), I'm not in it, nor would I want to be in it. I'm of the Groucho Marx believe about memberships :-)
One of the things that needs doing around here is an updating of the FAQ (frequently asked questions) list, so that people such as yourself have a leg up on getting some questions answered without message board prowlers yelling at you.
Take heart, we're not all so crass.
Now, is there anything I can help with? If you like, drop me an email, and I'll answer it privately, if I can. If I can't, I'll try to point you in the right direction.
Last of all, WELCOME!
