Welcome to Philforum!
I am not so certain that everyone is as smart as you think when it comes to knowing why you joined this community, but I am sure that as you begin to post and enter into discussions, the answer will become clearer.

See if you can put one of your smiling friends to work on a dictionary...

Welcome, my friend! Wander the land and enjoy the forum! I hope to see you in one of the many great discussions!

Welcome to the forum.

Thank you. I feel comfortable already. Thanks again.

By the way, I still could not set my avatar and profile photo. But I am guessing there is a noble philosophy behind that.

And finally, I am absolutely drowned in some of the discussions.

You can never catch up or let it out of your sight...

Still trying to find my bearings in this place.

I got my avatar right, by the way.

Bearings??? You got Bearings??? I might have two; but they must be rusted up because I can't seem to get away from this computer...
