If you go to the Emotional Needs board, you will find a thread addressed to newbies. It is at the top of the board. There are links there to many items you may find helpful. Check it out.

Thanks to you Jess-Anne and Cinderella I actualy found that link my self about two days ago. I ment E-mail the Moderator and have him delete that post but I forgot. I also think that info needs to be in a better place so it's easy to find for those who are new and are more worried about thier M than how things operate. Thanks anyway
S.

There is a helpful thread addressed to new builders at the top of this forum, too. It links to the General Welcome for all New Builders thread, which has the links to recommended books, recommended threads, acronym explanations, and everything you should need to get started. Murphy also has posted the list on the second page of that thread.
S.D.Y, I am sorry, but I have not received an email. Do you still wish this thread to be removed? It may be of use to someone else with your exact question.
