Roy Welsandt asks:

Hello.

I am new to the group. Are there any special conventions and protocols I
need to be aware of?

Well, as I recall hearing (and later yelling) coming down my first chow line at
Parris Island, "You'll be soooooooooooooooooooorrrrrry!" But that only applies
here if you fail to placate JOAT's woodworking gods.

You'll probably step on some toes as time passes. Sooner or later, you'll do so
on purpose.

Otherwise, enjoy the stay. There's usually some good info here, and
occasionally, some good camaradarie.
