Is really nice when people do come out of lurk mode - and thank you for taking the plunge and posting.
There is lots of information interwoven in these threads and lots of fun to be had too. Perhaps you should suggest your new friend also joins and then you can chat about what you read here. If you are looking for anything specific the search function is pretty good, and don't hesitate to start another new thread...
By the way, although your ID seems fine to me, if you would like to change it, just send me a message and it is a job of a few seconds to do so...
