Welcome !! While you will doubtless run into threads that contain “accusations, insults and straw man arguments”, I hope these will not dissuade you from participating here. This is a forum populated with posters having a variety of customs, cultures, talents, and strongly held opinions, and I feel much the wiser for being here.
