Welcome to Free Republic. It is always good to put a little bit about you on your homepage, just basics, like state of residence. Dont take it too personal, but people here will call you a noob for about your first ten years, then anytime you tangle up with one of the seniors older than dirt itself. Be thick skinned and have fun. Rinse and repeat.
Don't listen to rightly_dividing.
He's a noob.
