Seeing that you are new here, I will give you a few tips to make your time here more pleasant. Many members have a very strong aversion to new threads being opened. As such you will find many very long Master Threads. You should always try to find one to post in before opening a new thread. This would go in the Interesting Articles thread. Otherwise try searching for your topic. The Start Here section should be a big help although it is still under construction.
Some members may be abrupt when criticizing about these issues. They are really nice guys but the extent to which these thing have been happening has gotten frustrating.
