Just joined up and have a big 10 posts! (prize coming??) I laid off another forum I had been on since about 1999 and decided to pull out for awhile. I am an old sucker and like to use hyperbole quite often to make a point. Occasionally a smart-ass,occasionally a dumb-ass and often like to have fun. Real name Joel. I picked scratcho because Groucho,Harpo,Chico,Gummo and zeppo have already been used quite succsessfully. I guess I'll get the hang of this place one fine day----------------Joel-scratcho

5. Welcome, scratcho.

To answer your question from GD, I believe that you have to have 50 posts to send PM's. You can receive and respond to PM's at any point.

I note that you are generally responding to your own posst, as opposed to someone else's post. When you want to respond to someone, click the reply link on their post. That way they will see that they have a reply and may respond.
