Hi, this is P. from New Jersey, right? (don't want to give away your personal info if you don't wish). I spoke to someone at the MeetUp yesterday who brought up this exact issue.

Pretty cool. Given what I've seen though (not from you), I don't know if I'll be posting much here. It was great to meet you guys.

Wow - someone down votes the new guy expressing apprehension at becoming part of this community? That's a new low in terms of openness.

We're not all like that, EGarrett!

Hi tgb,

I think it's a reference to the post at the bottom of the page, that appeared to receive a few downvotes and ad hominems, and the site blocked my attempt to fix the post or reply to clarify my intent. Not the best foot to start off on or feel welcomed. But your reply is much appreciated.
