Welcome.
You'll get used to how the format of the boards works. Also, you might want to read the FAQs for more info.
Just curious--do you have the "frames" version of this board open? It should look like a split screen--on the left is the index of all the messages in this time period (when it is full, it will "flip" to the archives and start fresh, but you can always look in the archives). In the middle is a scroll bar for scrolling through the index of messages. On the right is the current post you have open---right now that is mine, I guess! Then, on the right side of the right frame is its scroll bar.
As for the disclaimer paragraph--
"...What you say may conceivably be used against you. Submitting a message gives me permission to use it as I wish. Please be civil."what I think it means is:
just know that when you post online, you are actually submitting to a published online document that is publicly displayed--probably for perpetuity. Therefore, be conscious of your privacy, identity, etc. As well as illegal activity (like when some people get into discussing illegally selling or buing drugs, etc., which is a "blockable" offense, btw). But mostly--be careful of impulsive posting. In terms of using our messages---if Dr. Bob wants to, he can include things we write in articles he writes or talks he gives. As for the please be civil--you can read the definition at the FAQs. In fact--all of these things are explained more in the FAQ page.As for safety here--it ebbs and flows. It can be very peaceful for a long time and then erupt into conflict quickly. And then it can get peaceful again. I try to stay away from conflictual threads, myself, something I decided over time.
