Warm welcome! I too am new to RG and watch collecting (I collect lots of other stuff) though in the brief time I've spent hanging around here (more time than my girlfriend prefers) I am struck by the openness, kindness and free knowledge transfer this generous community offers.

I'm actually working on a post drooling with sycophant-ish praise and comparisons to the only other similar (incredibly valuable) cultural experience that's ever had as profound an impact on me as this place.

Enjoy!

I am!
