Thank you for your kind words everyone. I'm just glad I could write something that I feel should make everyone's efforts here a bit easier for the benefit of this wonderful site. I'm also glad you guys knew how to link posts in a signature because I have no idea how I did it.

Bearriver, got it thanx.

And just in time for all the folks who are about to get a store bought still for Christmas...

Now I see this year after asking Halfbaked how to do it lol. I'm old school and not up to date on php at all, and my attempt at using the old html method didn't work.

Thought I'd confirm that your spoon-feeding tips were a good read. I read this some time ago, and a few times since. Thanks for your efforts Cranky.

[ff_cbryan]

I have read through this once so far, as I will need to a couple more times. I would like to thank the editor of this post. Mr.Cranky I believe. (Still very new to this).

Thank you sir, Chace

Thank you Chace. I'm always happy to hear from people this thread helps even though I regard my contribution as a very small part. Yes, I wrote this thread but in all actuality there are many contributors, namely each person who wrote each of those links. I feel my part is only a very small contribution to give back to the site that has helped me and I'm glad it is able to help so many others.

THANK YOU ......as a newbie, with ADD...this helps a WHOLE lot/


I was getting discouraged because the site has so much info every where..



for a newbie,,it is very intimidating and confusing. coupled with being told to study.

while asking yourself "STUDY WHAT?" "WHERE?"

Your welcome Frodo, glad I could help.

[bigrobbie]

Thanks for the feeding...as a long time member and moderator on a couple other forums(different topics of discussion of course) I feel your frustration with the same questions again and again. People don't want to research which I don't understand cause I love learning new stuff...

Anyway, smart and effective thread post bro! Thanks for the info!

[geo]

It's good to see this, I really hate seeing the same question asked over and over again
Thanks for putting this together

[Mashmonster]

Thank you Cranky! Looks like I have a lot of reading to do! Lol!

[cranky]

Thank you everybody, sorry I missed responding to a couple of you but I always appreciate the kind words and am glad this thread has helped so many.

Hey Crankmeister (Oscar???),

I've got your sticky threaded in my signature line, as have many, many others. I think this link is one of the "most followed" for the new, and even not-quite-so-new distillers. If there was a "kickback" for threads, I'd bet you'd be driving a new Cadillac soon. But since there isn't, I just wanted to parrot others words and say "thank you" for pulling the links and all together for a concise, quick starting point to this hobby.

Now, if it would just eliminate the redundant newbie questions....(pinch me, I'm dreaming)....

It may not stop the questions but now the redundant answer is often "Go to the spoon feeding thread" which was my whole point in creating it in the first place so I think mission accomplished there

[bearriver]

I think mission accomplished there

As of this post, at 18,845 views, I would say so.

I wonder if there is a way to see the unique views...

That's actually pretty cool that something I wrote has received that many views in a little over 6 months.

Thank you I think it's great that you took your time to share your experience with us newbies. I know I'm very anxious to get started, but I'd definitely rather be safe than sorry. Thanks again
