Hello to all newcomers who may be reading this post at this or some future
point.
This mewsgroup is a great place to ask questions, but there are other
resources available to you as well. You should try to use them if you can, and
try to learn which sorts of things answer which sorts of questions.
The front page is a good place to start:
http://www.lugnet.com/
LUGNET is a big site, it's easy to get lost or not be sure where things
belong. But there is logic in most of the organization.
The site map is a useful place to get your bearings. Depending on the level of
detail you can see more or less of the structure:
http://www.lugnet.com/sitemap.cgi
You're going to want to learn to use the guide. This is the distilled wisdom
of many collectors about what things LEGO has made so far: when, where, how
many pieces, how many figs, how much, and how they are organized into systems
and themes (the terminology is more exact and you should try to be precise if
you can)
http://guide.lugnet.com/
and the partsref, which is invaluable for the sort of "what is this part"
questions, as well as which sets a part came in (in future, it's not complete
yet):
http://guide.lugnet.com/partsref/
Finally, the FAQ, although incomplete, is a good resource. It's organized as a
newsgroup, but the front page has links to other resources that answer common
questions.
http://www.lugnet.com/faq/
If you have a question that you can't find the answer to, ask it here, or in
the FAQ group. Many questions are no doubt candidates for the faq.
A note, some of us have known each other for a long time and we tend to tease
each other a lot. Don't let that put you off... we're a fun loving group (or
groups, really, there are a lot of different areas of interest and a lot of
geographies). But we always welcome newcomers, the world of LEGO is a growing
place, we always relish new ideas and new contributions if made positively and
constructively.
Hope that helps you get your bearings and have fun. Welcome!

Lugnet Member #5, here since before the beginning, but just another member.
(although normally we don't make a big deal of our member numbers, I thought
I'd mention it this time so you knew that I've "been around"... and in fact I
have met many many many adult fans of LEGO since I travel a lot in my work)
