I Am New

Very True!

Try typing like you would for an essay for school. There are a lot of people here who don't know what the shorthand, AIM style typing is.

Also, be careful about what you say. Everyone is different, and everyone will take your posts differently. Even if you didn't mean to offend anyone, it may turn out that you do.

Anyway. Welcome to Chief Delphi. Any questions you have can be answered, all you have to do is ask.

Yes, welcome, and thank you for taking Caps Lock off.

Remember everyone...it's only 7/16 of an inch...

Welcome and visit often. Jane has a great talent for helping newcomers. I like the lurking suggestion, watch and learn. If you have any trouble or questions, use the PM feature and contact people who have been here a while or have a lot of posts. They can give you some private coaching through PM that will help you a lot. Get some practice, when competition season comes around, you will need it. The questions will happen fast and furious and this is the one of the best places to get answers.

Edited: I meant Jaine (who has well thought out posts) as was pointed out to me by Jane who also does a pretty good job at posting but should never be confused with Jaine.

This is a great example of a perfect post. Using proper english, punctuation, and capitalization. Spelling helps, too.

Also remember to break up your paragraphs. I have a problem with this frequently. I run on a lot and no one gets the point I'm trying to make.

Like Al mentioned, don't forget to PM people. I have yet to PM someone and not get a civilized response from them in return. Most of the time I get offered extra help. I have had good conversations with Al and Richard on occasion.

Pretty much all I'm saying is what everyone else is saying. And I'm one of those people that doesn't know what AIMspeak shorthands are. I just learned about a week ago what IMHO means. I do, however, know what LOL means. Have I shown my age yet?
