I joined pretty soon after I came across the site, but lurked still,mostly because as I kept reading others posts I realized some bashing did take place and some uncalled for statements were being made, but soon learned who most of the ones were that was doing so and pretty much realized some people had rather convince themselves they were never wrong and all others were. So I was somewhat reserve about posting. Mostly since I had read where some with a large amount of post shunned and would ignore or make intimidating statements to some of the newer members when they would disagree or ask a question that was seemingly dumb.Then, there was all the other 99% good and helpful and knowledgeable ones who were easy to spot, to make up for the stage fright.
