welcome, someone that comes here .......... like you.......... and says i am a super amateur at "domaining" , deserves a warm welcome IMO, you are off to a good start.
my advice.......... don't take any SH1T, from anywhere in the world, your family might say " you're doing WHAT !!!!!!! " , they just don't understand, my wifes family couldn't understand me for the first 4 years until the realised i was actually making money !, they though i was a "stay at home BUM" hmmmmmmmm maybe i am LOL
on DNT you may get some hammering, maybe from me? but take it as constructive and in the end just do whatever you want to.
and thats how you learn.
stick with it, and as spacey said, just start reading, ITS ALL HERE, and i mean EVERYTHING.
