Hi Montgomery, and welcome. This forum is great due to minimal moderation and posters limiting themselves (most of the time) in terms of their conduct. Most of us have been posting together, here and elsewhere, for some years and are happy to welcome a new voice.
I saw on another post that you were asking for ideas to bring more posters here, which we all support. Unfortunately, there's a lot of wingnuts who want a place to spread their wingnuts around, so it's a struggle to filter those out. But then again, perhaps being a little smaller is part of what makes this forum more civil than some others.
