Welcome (formally) to MobileRead, jaybee!
We're glad to have you. I have often echoed (and probably will again) the things you've said about this community. I'm sure there must be others out there that are similarly helpful and respectful which I just don't know about.
It really is more of a community than just a forum, and that's what keeps me hangin' 'round, myself.
Cool avatar, by the way.
