I’m new to these forums but have something to share that should interest many. Is their any etiquette in starting or do you just launch into it?
Welcome. Just jump straight on in. Just know that this board tends be a facts based, science type crowd.
Anything involving “Woo” or spiritualism typically isn’t received well here; if that’s the thing you want to share.
just make sure its not something we’ve heard before by checking the archives
and two don’t be surprised or shocked when what ever subject we’re going to be enlightened with gets ripped to shreds set on fired and then peed on to put the fire out …… its sort of what we do here
Espically If its something to do with science politics or religion ……
oh and read the forum descriptions so we don’t have move it around
I’d advise you to read through the Registration Agreement, Rules, and FAQ.
In particular, notice:
If your “something to share that should interest many” is something you’re only here to promote or publicize, this may not be the place for it.
If you’re selling something that you want us to buy, there is a Marketplace forum where paying members can do so, but otherwise, this isn’t the place for that either.
On the other hand, if you have an interesting topic that you’d like to discuss with us, welcome! Try to post it in the appropriate forum—otherwise a moderator may politely move it.
Welcome to the SDMB. Read the forum descriptions, pick the one that sounds closest to what you want to discuss, and go ahead.
And pay no attention to the squid references.

And sheep felching. :eek:
Maybe you could have Tubadiva help you with a name change that can be pronounced for when we talk behind your back. 
What’s wrong with he “ate tang when he was 16”? 
Because if you say it quickly it sounds too much like “Throatwobbler Mangrove”.
“Welcome” threads traditionally go in MPSIMS. Moving.

Since he’s apparently a Kiwi, best to hold off on the sheep jokes, at least for a while.
Tangata whenua is a Maori term meaning “people of the land.”
Choice user name eh bro? Sweet az!
What a difference a space makes.
Indeed Mr Drop Zone.
And then go ahead and post anyway, with a new wrinkle or two if possible (there’s been lots of repetition over the years, given that entirely new subjects are hard to come by).
Have fun.
Which is ironic, given the OP’s stated opinion of Maoris.
Is it about the giant bones that you want to steal?
Ah I see. Perhaps the username should be whitetangatawhenua16.
It is not such a choice username after all.
