Hi, Anne - we'd love to have you here, registrered or not. Registration is free, with no strings attached - we're just here for the fun of it. You can check on the benefits of membership in our FAQ/Newcomers' guide thread.

We try to stay away from rules, but I guess it's better to search first to see if there's an existing thread on your topic, and then to post your question on the existing thread (if there is one). That tends to help the discussions stick together, and that can make things a little more interesting.
