The reason you can't post on main threads is because if all newbies could post straight away there, it would be spammed to hell and nothing would get done or discussed properly. SR has an advantage as it is anonymous to a certain extent and a lot safer than buying/selling on the street. No one is snobbish here and there is a great variety of people who are friendly, we are certainly not all 'nerds'. Look forward to seeing you on the main threads
