	HEY BRO I WANT TO LEARN ABOUT THE STUFF YOU KNOW ABOUT COULD YOU HELP ME OR 
	REFER ME TO SOME NEWSLETTERS, PEOPLE, ANYTHING THAT WOULD HELP ME FURTHER MY 
	KNOWLEDGE



I hear the postmaster is a good source for help. 'post' is an old techie word that means 'hack', and obviously 'master' is someone really proficient in it. However, because so many people mail and ask for help, he carefully screens those contacting him. You must show patience above all things, but do not be soft and let him tell you otherwise. When he tests you by claiming no knowledge of such things, stand firm and ask him again. Since you come from aol.com, the best way to contact him would be to mail postmaster@aol.com and ask. Good luck!
