However, I do feel you and the word of the day is just dive right in?

I still think it's best for everybody for recent arrivals to
lurk, er, observe, but it seems like these days the norm is
to dive right in and expect everybody who's already there to
accomodate you. I think I lurked for about a year before
posting anything (I believe my first post was about CP/M and
WordStar, to give you a hint just how long ago that was).
But back then you could sit down and read everything in
every newsgroup in about 1/2 hour and things were just
really, really different.
