I second that!

And welcome to the board, Kristi.

I too think there should be some type of Sticky so the New Members have somewhere to "go".


The question has been asked numerous times and for me, as a beginner, have saved alot of hiker's links in a special Folder just so I can find it again. (and I named the folder "hiker" just because I think of him when I need help.)

Here's another link I found that also addresses Help for the Newcomer.

Wow - you guys are big help. Thanks for the sweet welcome!
I am going through hiker95 list at this point..Honestly speaking, I don't currently want to shed any $$ until I have some basic idea..
