and, most of the stickied posts are of the 'frequently asked questions/answers' nature...the kind of stuff that we get asked almost daily.
if someone refers you to a sticky, don't take it as an insult either. You didn't know we had that feature, and sometimes the sticky you need is under a different section (in particular the men's and women's weight training stickies).
Welcome to the site...I hope you find it useful!
