Hello from the newbie

[My Name Is Kate]

This forum is as good a place as any, and better than most, to learn civility, respect, good manners, etc. I'm not saying anyone needs to learn that, but I've posted a bit on another forum that has nothing to do with history or Lincoln, and some of the people there can get downright nasty. It's all too tempting to respond in kind to them, but I don't want to be one of those people!
