Welcome, Joe.

There are some damn good 2GNTers in Texas. So good that there are times I think about moving there myself. (God help you all if I do.) There are power stages up on the home page under one of the tabs and if you keep an eye out, they have all been recently rewritten with a great deal of new information and should be up soon. I bet it helps a lot. I wrote it with the intentions of helping a newbie get his feet wet and then move all the way to the top of the game. If you want, drop me a PM with your email address and I could send it to you beforehand. It's about 10,000 words, but you'd be surprised how easy it is to read.

You'll find this community second to none. Show some common sense and respect and you'll go far, here.
