Discovered the site a week or two ago, I've been using improvised tools on very little actual knowledge for years with varied (obviously) success...
I registered today to become involved in the discussions and to let you all know that I am truely inspired by the information and assistance you provide...
Bravo!

I am Josh from Perth, Australia.
I been reading the posts for a while, and I must
say you guys are awesome.
I haven't had to post much, but man have I learnt from the
posts already up.

Varjeal, the quality of your posts are amazing.

Digital Blue, Raimundo, Pyro and Varjeal.

The name brand that I would buy for quality, I think.

Thanks to all the others for both posting and answering
the same questions that I wondered about.

Man i've missed a lot of stuff since i've been gone...

Hmm, im not really new to picking, or to the site, i was just under a different name. I guess i sorta stopped visiting the site because i had a lot of stuff to do with school, and my job...but now i've got quite a bit of time on my hands. I was cleaning out my shop earlier today and came across some pick templates that I printed from this site. So after cleaning the shop i decided to check up to see how the sites going... hehe still going strong i see.

Well, I have relatively good knowledge of all kinds of security, but im not exactly a professional, i will try to share as much info as i can as well as absorb.

-Peace
