    Re: Hello everyone.

    Welcome to the forum.

    I bet some of the other members know exactly which site you're referring to. :roll:

    The only thing negative around here is Voltage in reference to a common neutral or reverse polarity.
    Okay, we'll take that joke back to the workshop, hammer on it some more, and see if we can get it to work. :p

    welcome dave,
    the guys are having a bit of fun as you can see, but there's plenty of reading here and if you don't see something you have a question on, then ask and we try to do our best to give an answer.

    You might get a charge out of reading these threads!

    Welcome,,, you might consider changing your forum name, since we already have solar_dave as a frequent poster.

    Re: Hello everyone.

    It is not a problem, with all the "Bills" "Vics" and "Daves"--We will be fine.

    If you do want another user name, I think you will need to PM "Niel" or myself "BB." (yes, with period at the end), and we can change it for you.

    Take care,

    Re: Hello everyone.

    Thanks again guys, I've been enjoying all of the jokes. I asked Bill in a PM to change my name to fix_it_guy
    That's what my entire family calls me because they all know who to go to when they need something fixed. I've been in maintenance my whole life so there isn't much I haven't worked on. I actually have a bit of a fix it fetish. Lol

    Let us not go too far down the "other forum" road and, instead, appreciate what we have here through everyone's hard work and NAWS's support.

    Re: Hello everyone.

    Hi Nikkoo and welcome to the forum.

    Guessing you are from Argentina?

    We have had a few folks from down there in the last few years.

    Is there anything you are interested in talking about?
