I was once like you, son. But then I hiked up my knickers and took the bull by the horns and put my head on straight and just put my pants on one leg at a time and look where I'm at now!
.....ok, I'm not that far, but danggit I'm trying!
But seriously, I lurked for 8 months before I even joined, and then I didn't start posting a lot until about a month and a half ago. And by "a lot" i mean like nothing compared to most of these anandtechers.
