Welcome to the best website in the universe! As you have been warned already, this place is addictive .... but you'll find outstanding discourse and dialog, fantastic humor, camaraderie .... and some real nuts and weirdos along the way, too.
You'll find some excellent background material and some great links on this thread ....
