I am new here and I Lurk because;
1. I have been to many forums where people get quite ugly because you ask a question that has already been posted. Most of the time I have done a search but to no avail.
My thought to that is, If you are going to answer only the questions that have NOT been asked then even the most complex subject will soon have no questions.
My remedy, If someone asks either, keep your opinion to yourself, Answer with a smile or send a link to the topic.
I recently spent 3 days on the Nuvi forum going through 35 pages of search Info, that kinda takes away from the enviroment of helping others. IMHO
2. I am kinda shy and don't want to ask stupid questions..
Basicly I like this site, I have not seen any hostile post's, yet and everyone seems to be friendly and helpful to the ones that are posting.
And as for introducing myself, I am a single Father in the Mid Ga area, trying to find a way to get into the hiking scene and this seems a way to do it.
I just placed my first hide, but have yet to even try and look for one, (shy part here), I want the ones where people can't see you..
Have a nice day
Dennis
