Hi everyone!
I am still figuring out how things work here, any tips or advice is appreciated.
Welcome to the boards.
Being pretty new myself, I think I can offer some advice as you navigate your way through this morass we all know and love.
Do your research before you post.
Avoid knee-jerk responses.
Keep the ad hominems out of your replies.
Reward posts you like/agree with and others will reward your posts.
Be willing to learn and admit you are wrong.
Wit is a good thing, but it should not be your only thing.
Directness and brevity will win you more views.
Since you are an acknowledged liberal here, you are the minority on this board, conservatives, me included, have you pretty well out-numbered. If you wish to win fellow posters to your side of the argument you are going to have to be good, really good.
GOOD LUCK!! HAVE FUN!!
