I can't find where to post a new question, but other than that, I'm a regular person with an extremely inquiring mind that didn't learn physics or anything like it in any of my schooling [13 grammar schools, 2 high schools, 1 college]

Thanks for the forum and I hope to find the 'post a new thread here' place soon. lol
