Newbie

Hi and welcome! @PhredWreck has already beaten me to the punch on pointing you to the important info. I will just add that if you have any questions or issues, feel free to send me a message and I will do everything I can to address them. You will also find that most of the members here are extremely helpful and friendly and are also glad to help any way they can.

Basically, you interact with people from around the world by commenting on their posts, writing a few of your own posts on things of interest to you, and having them comment on your posts. You make a few pennies when others comment on what you've written. And you meet interesting people you wouldn't have otherwise met.
