for newbies from a newbie-read archieves

[Menua]

What you say is not only sage advice, but what one should do before anything else. I've been a lurker here for some months now, and I've noticed a couple of things:

1) browse posts back one year and there's, as you say, a wealth of info, especially on topics which one might be looking for information;

2) not just on this board, but on many others which I participate, people oft ask a question that has been answered previously, and a small search on the board or on Google would reveal all the person wanted answered and more besides. Indeed, I haven't bothered to register until now because I find answers to my questions by just reading existing posts!

I would echo what many have said before that forum has been more than an excellent resource. The experience shared here, as well as the comraderie, all make this a place that makes me want to come in and share a glass. [img]http://www.wines.com/ubb2/smile.gif[/img]
