Hi Sparky welcome.
Most of the Sparky's I know are welders or electricians.
Begin wasting time anytime you feel ready.
HI!!! Sparky, good to see you made the move. did the old site finally stop breathing? long slow, painful death.
I am new here also, these are some good guys, your gonna fit in and like them.
DIY is still going, and they are paying better attention to the spammers. But I suspect they'll pull the plug on that before too long.
The thing that kept me coming back to their boards is the opportunity to guide a noob. Some boards tend to be mainly occupied by the regulars and not much in the way of real questions. Sometimes a question will prompt me to do a little websearch to find an answer for the OP and I learn something new in the process or from other posters answering the question.
Not sure about their forums, but HGTV - TV just drives me crazy. Used to be that you could pick up a little info there, but now it's all about yuppie couples buying houses.
Anyways...welcome Sparky.
TV has moved beyond information to drama entertainment. A show can't be just informative, it somehow has to have conflict. There's enough drama in my life to watch stuff that I have interest in. But I guess drama sells and that's what pays the bills.
If it's not drama, it's half hour commercials. For instance, I use to like the show My Classic Car, it's now a commercial for collector car insurance, floor tile or car polish with a hint of a car here and there.
Oh well...,
