Hello. I heard about this site on ThinkProgress, and since it included many of the people whose opinions I have come to respect, I decided to give it a shot. However, after signing up, I’m finding it hard to navigate, or maybe I was expecting something different (I kinda expected an ongoing conversation like on TP). Do you host live blogging? And if so, when? By the way, I’m the doofus who posts under the name The Moderate Squad on TP, so if you don’t think I belong here, let me know.
I picked this place to post because it was the only one I could find with today’s date. As you may have guessed, I’m not very tech-savvy…

Hi, Moderate Squad aka prim8!
Things are a little quiet right now. The daily open thread is called “The Watering Hole,” and if you visit that thread, you’ll probably find someone.
Welcome!

I once went swimming in the GOM during crab hatch season and got, literally, crabs.
