Nightfly,
I concur in your message. Many FTers are not too friendly to new members. I posted my second message on here and was quickly told to go and do a search... fortunately, others are more helpful and tactful.
Considering there is no "reference guide" for new members... or veteran members for that matter... seems like people could have some tolerance on this board.
Just my two cents... and probably will get a dollar back in change.
