I'm not very tech aware and getting started is a huge stressor. I need someone to help me get started. I'm 76 years old and am a little slow on picking up tech.

Re: How do I introduce myself?
Hey P, welcome. "Well ya look fine to me brother", as we say in North Cackalacky. I think the issue is folks not posting where they should. This is a type of internet rudeness, like if we were having a conversation, and someone breaks in just to say hello, or someone cutting in line.p.j.stevens wrote: ↑Fri Mar 12, 2021 2:53 am I'm not very tech aware and getting started is a huge stressor.

IMLO, (In My Logical Opinion) there are waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay to many people posting coins in the Introduction and Start Here threads. This is because they know it will get top and front page and get the attention they crave, (look at me mom, I went to the bathroom all by myself), instead of following the guidelines of posting where they should, for example, Errors in the error forum and so forth. This is the common rudeness found with people in general today. If you go to any of the big financial forums and you post out of bounds you will get your head handed to you by members and the mods, also if it doesn't stop you will be banned). I have seen that this is kind of "disorder" is typical for all coin sites I visit, so I have learned to live with it.
Anyway, post you questions about specific coins in the proper area, and one coin per post, and you will be fine. So far you are AOk
