Let me echo what Pappy and Pat have said and add that you don't have to worry about people making fun of you or picking on your work. This place was built on giving constructive criticism and the desire to help everyone succeed. In that manner, it's almost a little creepy at first for those of us that grew up rough. Sometimes it's harder for us to accept compliments than to accept criticism.
Sign up, show up from time to time, join in the conversation. We'd all love to get to meet you.
