The search function can be a big help, but it can also be a challenge if you don't know the best keywords to use. Never hesitate to post. You'll get a feel for what to search and what to post over time.

I typically read here way more than I post just due to time constraints, but I have found the people who frequent this board to be very helpful and accommodating. Even the occasional disagreement is reconciled positively. Maybe the nature of the topic tends to bring a more mature audience, but it is exponentially more friendly than most internet forums. Welcome and enjoy. I hope you will continue posting.
I agree. I don't take remarks by other personally. Sometimes, my posts don't come the way I intended it to be. It is hard to convey thoughts when you can only type so fast.

Overall, this is a good/informative forum to be. In other nastier forums, I don't bother visiting them further
