Hello and welcome.

I can't speak for anyone else, but I'm not turned off by people unless they're overtly obnoxious, and you seem like a nice newbie, [and a fellow weirdo]. Just be yourself and have fun posting. This is a nice little community.
P.S. Maybe we're Music Banterers? MBers??
Ah, forget it. We all have user names. It's a lot easier to address us individually.
