is it, and registered, on registering i still had doubts as to how the members here would be.....But i was very happy seeing the helping behavior of members/admins......Then i remember our admin diesel philic encouraging me and helping me know the process of IRI.....Then when i started giving info updates, admins graciously updated those thanking me which further encouraged me......I felt very happy that i joined this website, i got bowled over by IRI to say the least......And thanks to Moderator since he is coming up with timely updates/new features it is IMPOSSIBLE to stay away from this site for too long......Finally i feel that this is a great place for knowledge exchange......I tried to keep this very short...Thanks :)
