A Newbie Lurking...

I just found this board via Gordon Alexander; he replied to a post I made at Ricky Higgs' board, suggested I read BYBA (which I did, and found excellent), and provided me a link to sowpub.com, which...

...brought me here. I've browsed a number of the posts and especially the names of the posters; seems this board is chock full of seriously successful people, and some I've seen at other boards.

So, why am I here? I'm not even started yet in any kind of business, but am working on something to sell online. So I'm here to learn, first and foremost. I am not billing myself as anything but a newbie with a lot to learn; obviously, since I am such, it shouldn't be necessary for anyone to tell me how much I don't know. I put that caveat in because I may be inclined to express my feelings on this board, and someone might be tempted to "put me in my place" by pointing out how much I lack in knowledge about the internet, or whatever I might discuss.

Should I just continue to lurk and keep my fingers off the keyboard, or am I welcome to post? I think I got in trouble on another board for posting before I lurked long enough to see what people were like. I'm hoping to find out the unwritten "rules" before I inadvertently violate them.

P.S. The link I provide below is to my site still under construction. Should you choose to comment on it, please keep that in mind.
