Welcome to the board! Before you start in to posting I would recommend you read the board a little first. Start with the front page and read over the various forum descriptions, that’s always a good place to start. [Striaght Dope Message Board front door](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/) Then go look at forum areas. Read threads you find interesting. See how the board works, how people interact, how it flows. And when you’re ready go to the appropriate forum area and ask your question. Any questions? Reply here or send me an email, happy to help.
