Welcome, Deacon!
The people we meet in this hobby are as amazing as the animals that got us into it in the first place. As Ax mentioned, there are a handful of us AZ folks here on the boards. Especially on BP.net, there is always someone wanting to lend a helping hand in the name of the good of the animals. Feel free to comment, question, concern, and smart remark away until your heart's content. I hope you enjoy your stay!
Best regards,
Eric
