Join in those threads and be member #21 in them. We are primarily a discussion forum and overall a very friendly bunch. New members, or legacy members with low post counts are just as welcome, and equally encouraged, to join in on the discussions as the members with 20k+ posts. The camaraderie built by participating here develops trust and great friendships - even with old crotchety folks like me and the Great Kazoo.
