No problem, apdude. It's happened to me, too.
In general, I don't have a whole lot of time to play games, and I've been staying up later than I should to play Monster Hunter. As a result, my overall progress will probably be kind of slow. Still, even if I'm in a different HR bracket, I'll always be willing to help out on a quest; so, everyone, please don't hesitate to ask (And don't feel bad about it!) I'll help out if I can.
The whole reason I decided to play this game was because I wanted to play a people in the NWR community. I haven't regretted the decision.
Besides, Mop It Up, That Guy, Stratos, (and others) have helped me out a LOT.
