I just joined and tried to post a message to the VIPs - did I have to come here first?

No you don't have to come here first. Did you try starting a new thread in the VIP section or try adding to a thread someone else had already started, because in the VIP section you cannot respond to someone else thread, only the person that started it and the VIP can respond. Welcome to the Board :smile:

Seems I've gotten really behind in my greetings
so am trying to catch up on newbie meetings
Anyway, here's a big "Hello" to all who are new
looking forward to reading thoughts from you!

So, after each eppy come here to share
as we each our thoughts compare
The Fuselage is the place to come
if you feel the need to talk Lost some!

Welcome, welcome we're glad to have you

:clap: Welcome to the Fuselage!! :clap:
