Welcome Ares,
You have, indeed found a wonderful spot to spend some time. I am a rather new member myself and have already gained so much knowledge and had many questions answered as well as heard some wonderful music from some of the other members. Actually, I probably spend too much time here now, as I can't seem to get away from the computer.
BTW, I used to have a favored pet named Ares, so I felt compelled to say hello.
