Welcome to the hog. You will meet some fantastic photographers here. I am one of the oldest but I'm also the one who is the least improved. You met the one who THINKS he is the most hated but if you met the snarky ones face to face, I'll bet they would honestly help you any way they could and you'd find that their hearts are really as soft as a powder puff, so pay no attention to snarky comments! Enjoy!!!
