Welcome!!!
∙ Read the Rules(and I mean ALL OF THEM)
∙ Use the search Function before creating a new thread, your question might have already been answered, or atleast, addressed.
∙ Happy Reading(which there is tons to do) and Happy Picking.
Use this for all your common questions please use this: Search
Many issues/questions have been addressed many times. If you do post a topic that has been addressed many times, without doing a search, people may start floobing*, Don't take this as an insult or a way around your question, thats natural when questions have been asked many times...
*Floobing - good humored, teach them the rules, noob flaming - get used to this term, because it happens alot.
MacBook Pro all the way!!!

The following is a quote from mick mars, a musician from Hollywood---"The band got its name from from some smart a-- record producer fella we all ran into in L.A. when he walked up to the four of us and said something like "what a Motley Crue you guys are." he was a just a short pompous little nard, but he was on to sumthin there."
Anyway, I think I'm in good company here. Lets get down to business.

Is that true?
Did the band You Guys really get their name that way
or are you just making that up, man?

Hi! I've been lurking here for a while, and thought it was about time to put down this lock and say hello.
I've been picking off and on for several years (bought my first picks from the Edge Company, if that tells you anything), but just recently picked (pun intended) it up again.
I know the importance of reading and I also use the search function frequently, so that should eliminate most of the floobing that may be directed my way.
Anyway, let me get back to this Master No. 40... it's kicking my butt.

edge333: if it's the same "The Edge" company that sells a lot of knives, I've spent a lot of hard-earned money at that place years ago. Do they have a website?
Greetings and welcome to all, btw. 
*insert witty comment here*
