Alamo-Girl was a huge help to me when I first signed up. She hadn't been at FR that long but she knew everything about the site and gave me advice on what should or should not be posted on FR.
Check it out, she's still listed on FR's homepage!
I was very timid at first and Summer told me to just jump in and post. She was very kind. I'd been getting bashed around on other boards for being conservative. That tends to make one button their lip. The older signups taught me how to debate and backup what I said with links.
Thank you oh so very much, dear Jean S!
