Standard procedure is for the typical newbie read the group for a while to get the gist of what's going on. Also a good idea if the noob has maybe done some actual *reading*, maybe tried some of the local craft beers, that sorta thing. Doesn't hurt to know at least a bit about beer styles.
Where do you stand?
But of course.
Lurk (read without posting) for several weeks. You'll figure it out. It's The USENET Way!
(Use a real name, too. Gives you more credibility.)

As the saying goes, 'on the internet, no one knows you're a dog.' You're only welcome if you don't become a pain in the ass.
People here would rather you ask sincere (even if naive) questions about beer, than to create threads that proclaim, "I LIKE BEER!"
