    Another newbie!

    For the last 2 days I've been reading, and reading here on TFP. (Of course, it sounds like I've been doing it all wrong) First thing, (as I learned here) my CYA was out the roof, as I sit here the pool is refilling after a (ready for this) 70% dump. (ouch) The more I read, the more I said...
