Hey all.
This is the first time I’ve visited this site or even heard of the Straight Dope… probably cause I’m from Canada, eh?
So basically, I can post any question here and people will jsut answer it!?

Yep, welcome to the Straight Dope. Secrets of the Universe™ revealed for free and worth twice the price!
Sometimes you get a good taunting as an added bonus. Please don’t take it personally. We’re just trying to emulate our dear, curmudgeonly patron, **Uncle Cecil**.

Welcome to the SDMB, **Blitzweb**. I wouldn’t go so far as to say you can ask _any_ question here. Asking advice on how to break the law or infringe copyrights is certainly out. You might want to read [FAQ - guidelines for posting at the SDMB](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=106617). Since this is a question about this message board, I’ll move it over to the forum we have for questions about this message board. It’s called “About This Message Board.”

IIRC, there are a few papers in Canada that carry the Straight Dope - [http://www.straightdope.com/otheroutlets/newspapers.html](http://www.straightdope.com/otheroutlets/newspapers.html) has the latest list. And this message board is hardly all American - there is a fairly large Canadian and Australian contingent here, as well as people from Germany, Norway, Korea, Japan, China, France, Switzerland, UAE, and a bunch of other places - name a country, there is a good chance theres someone on the boards from there!
My advice: read the forum descriptions, read a few threads (learn something:) ) and then post to your hearts content. You’ll find it gets addictive VERY quickly 😃

That’s what I included in “all that good stuff”… but we don’t want to scare **Blitzweb** off **too** soon, do we? 😃
