...and welcome to MarsDawn.

Come on over to the MessHall sometime. I'll buy you a cup of Murphy's great coffee (or whatever) and you can meet the rest of the gang. Don't worry, we won't bite your ear off or anything.

Now, regarding protocols for posting to the probes...
There is no official protocol yet. We are discussing organizational details and at some point may limit posting to the probes, but right now you may post whatever you want. I would ask, however, that you read up on what has been sent by others to the probes. We try to discuss options here before sending them any kind of instructions. That way we can be consistent in what we ask them to do. We won't have them confused over which of us to follow. It would be very good if you introduced yourself to the probes as a new friend from Earth. One of us will post a note to them to reassure them that you are on our side. (You are on our side, aren't you?) As you spend a little time here, you may find that you are drawn to one or two of the probes more than the others. At that point you may want to join that probe's "team". The probes are instructed to take the advice of their team members as higher priority in case of conflicting requests.

Again, welcome aboard and good to have you. If you have any questons, feel free to ask here or in the MessHall.
