Thanks for the warm welcome.
I found this place in an odd fashion. I was searching for home improvement help, and after being frustrated by not getting the answer I needed, I started typing various iterations of the key words. I found a useful post here at conservativecave.com . The helpful attitude in that forum was attractive.
I have been posting only a few days, and I have a question: What exactly is the purpose of the DUmpster? I find my self oddly attracted to it, like a train wreck or a violent cage match on television. The energy there is startling, but it's all negative energy. Yelling, cursing, insulting -- at people on another discussion board. Granted, the "DU" is a mess, and there are lots of misguided people there. But what's the attraction? Please don't interpret this as criticism, because it is not. I just want to know.
