Hello fellow (apparently) artard newbies

May we all one day become wise full-members of this forum!
I feel like a tard, because I can't figure out how to begin my own post introducing myself. At any rate, here I am.
I heard about BC several months ago, but am just now beginning to learn about how it works. I'm here to learn all I can about it, and hope to find people who are knowledgeable, willing to answer my questions, and patient with me. I'm the first one to admit I can be kind of thick sometimes.
I'm looking forward to getting to know you, and networking together in order to bring BC more into the mainstream.
