Welcome from BC Canada, Straya
Nice looking bacon.
I am like you, been poking around the forum for a bit and finally joined. There is an absolute wealth of information here that is offered up by people that just want to see you succeed in your projects and will help you in any way they can.
That’s pretty rare and should be embraced for sure.
You named a couple of giants in your post. You don’t have to read for long and you find there are many here - I won’t try to name the ones that stick out for fear of missing someone.
Just know, you ALL inspire. You offer information based on experience. Praise for work well done and, perhaps best of all, encouragement for folks that fail in an attempt.
It never fails. Someone has a failure and you all chime in with ways to help and a heartfelt “don’t worry about it. We have all been there. Try “this”, move on, and try again”
Followed with an “if you run into trouble, PM me and I will try to help if I can”
To me, that is exactly what a forum like this should be about.
My hat is off to you all.

PS: I don’t mean to HiJack your thread Straya. Your bacon just got me going.
Best of Luck
