Just so you are aware. This site wouldn't exist if there weren't people here who were interested in the hobby aspect. I welcome you but I find this post rather "unbecoming". Instead of trying to learn all you can and making a pleasant introduction for yourself. You are getting your back up and making ultimatums about your participation. Please do enjoy and join in the conversation but know people are going to give you advice. It's your choice on listening to it or not. The advice will sound similar "dog piling" as you put it because we try and point new members in the direction of success. That is our goal.

So again welcome aboard.
