> [@Terry\_Brooks](#): > > Sorry i didnā€™t know where to put it lol still getting to grips Best way to get to know the place. Itā€™s usually a crapshoot where threads will wind up. Just be glad itā€™s still up! Youā€™d be amazed at how many ā€œnew threadsā€ are _reported_ and promptly zapped. Some of them have life spans in seconds! Itā€™s been some time since the ā€œLurkers Speak Up!ā€ days and this is a good variation on that theme. Oh, and Welcome! šŸ˜ƒ ---

Hi, **Terry** , Iā€™m new around here, too, but Iā€™ll extend my welcome all the same. It can be a bit daunting to push into this place, but it never fails to crack me up ā€“ so I stick around. I like your thread and appreciate you starting it for us n00bs. **Someone** around here has to be responsible for Making Things Not as Awesome as They Used to Be. (I like smilies, too.) šŸ˜‰ ---
