"WELCOME Aboard" from the Owners of AboveTopSecret.com

janasstar,

checking into it..

Hi ATS peoples, I'm new and for my first post, I just wanted to express my appreciation for this site and the discussions I've enjoyed reading here. I've finally registered after visiting for about six months. I don't really have any technical problems with the site, or any "Please help me" kind of questions. Just humbley announcing that I'm new and that this site is really great. (sorry for spelling or grammar flaws folks) Peace

I'm very new here and I struggle to find my way around.

It sure would help to be able to log in from the 'board home' page rather than click on an interesting link and then when I am delivered to that topic then I have the option of signing in but after signing in I am delivered back to the first page... then I have to find that topic again... argh.

Is there a link that will explain those little blue stars?? Sometimes I have one and sometimes I don't. (More often not. lol)

Also one last request for today: I saw the debates section and I love it but I don't have the 'word smith' skill needed to hold my own there. Is there some way to set up 'spar sessions'? Similar in nature to being assigned a mentor but a coach who is willing to help a newbie develope debate skills? I read one member's expression that "profanity is the uneducated mind trying to express itself." That fits me! I have grown very lazy and now I need to develope a true vocabulary and wordsmith skills to keep up. Any suggestions are appreciated on that.

Thanks for a fabulous site! (George sent me from coast to coast)

Hello. I am new.

I accidentally came across this site when I was doing some research on a base we will probably be stationed at soon. My husband is in the Air Force and a few of our possible bases are mentioned here often. LMAO!!!

I have been sitting here for hours reading posts. I'm quite intrigued.

I'm not sure if I'm a full fledged conspiracy theorist...but I do believe in some...and if provided enough logical information, can be swayed to believe others. LOL

Anyways, I have bookmarked this place and in between being a stay at home mom and student, I will be here often I would assume!

Hello my name is chiyanne and of course I am a newbie, as if you could not tell?.. I have been interested in these topics for ages but just recently "found" your site.. It is very interesting to say the least. It takes awhile to catch up to the "oldies" but I will try my best.. A lot of threads show clear thought and lead credit to both ends of a view, so I give cudos to them.. I only hope that someday I too may be as educated...

I read in an earlier thread about mentors being available? Where might I find such a person or like my belief states, that in time a mentor will find me?.

To the original "mods" I applaud you on the concept you have created and hope that you and your site will find good things in life, and hopefully we might be able to change the world we live in, and the close-minded people we live with...
