Astenon,

Hello and welcome! This is a fantastic place to learn, and to meet new people. I'm more than a bit shy offline, but everyone here has been so friendly and welcoming, that I've found it quite easy to jump in with both feet. You've at least broken the ice, and introduced yourself--I promise each subsequent post gets a little easier!
Anyway, I do hope you enjoy your time here in the forums. If you ever have any questions, feel free to ask away!
