Dang, I missed it!
Oh well. Here comes the "save an aspirant" message:

That is a message board that is aspirant-friendly. It's mostly women, but I gained a lot of wisdom through it. There is general discussion and questions about the "journey" aren't frowned upon. We could always use more fellas.
Not saying you can't do that on GC, but I prefer Delphi for membership questions, myself.
