Mark,

welcome to the Active Rain community!

Hang on there, at first it can be very confusing, since there are so many rules and guidelines. I hope, AR will bring back their webinars for new members soon again( you might want to check some old records in AR university).

Otherwise, don't hasitate call members with your questions:)

Mark Don McInnes, Sandpoint this concept itself is new to AR. However, what's that saying...

On posts, I always reply to comments. However in regard to questions, I wasn't sure myself if that was appropriate, other than maybe a "like". Just to say "thank you" is nice, but not too meaningful. I think it's understood that we appreciate everyone's taking the time to answer.

I haven't been returning comments on these because some people never ask a question....but that I think is a matter of personal preference.  Have fun here, and check out even older questions because there are some very interesting questions and ANSWERS!!

When I post a question I'd rather it be each person's answer rather than a commentary on previous answers. Think of it as a one on one question where each person in the community can answer the person asking.

I had written a post awhile back asking memebrs whether they preferred to receive comments on their posts or a response to their comment on my post if I do not have time for both. Everyone replied that if they had a choice they would prefer a comment on their post. I always reciprocate comments on their posts .

Asking questions is fairly new to seasoned Rainer's too.  It's your opportunity to ask specific questions and receive points for asking.
