Short Version: Post what you are good at or knowledgeable about and would answer questions about.
Long Version:
Hey guys. I was thinking about this last night and thought it might be a neat idea, we'll see how it is received.
I was thinking of getting a post where INGO members could list the things they are knowledgeable about. Say you are a career welder, you have large amounts of knowledge about that field and if you would be willing to answer questions about it then that is a good resource to have, especially in a local forum. If someone wants to try doing some welding on their own, they could PM you and ask you some questions knowing that you may have the answers. It seems like everyone is an "expert" or at least "knowledgeable" about something.
This could be anything; flashlights, welding, dog training (Josh Smith?), evasive driving (LEOs?), gun maintenance, etc. Literally anything. I would like people to list maybe a primary and a secondary topic that they are more knowledgeable about than the average person and would be willing to be a resource for other members with questions on those topics. Maybe include a small blurb about why you chose those, if you would like.
I'll go first.
Primary Area: Materials (Metals, Polymers, Ceramics, Composites)
Support: I'm working for a materials lab for a large aerospace company, have a bachelor's in Materials Science and Engineering and am in the process of getting my master's degree in about the same field.
------
Secondary Area: Computers (Web sites, building computers, problems, upgrading, etc.)
Support: Just a computer geek in general. I maintain a few websites and have built multiple computers for friends and family as well as work on their computers if they have problems. I've helped clubs and groups get their websites up and running Home for example.
