Hello and thanks for having me. I was one of those kids who took apart his toys to see how they worked... and I haven't changed much over the last several decades! 
Most of my knowledge is "mechanical" but with just about everything these days having some sort of computer in it, I'm trying to learn more about those aspects. (Way back in the MS-DOS days I was pretty good with simple programming and was even a computer science major for a while... forgotten pretty much all of it now.)
I have done a little bit of ECM reprogramming and I think I have a decent understanding of the most basic principles... but I also realize that there's about 99% I don't understand. And having recently obtained my first automotive scope, I discovered some of the vast universe of information and feedback available in the "electronics" that you just don't have with an "analog" carburetor and Kettering breaker point ignition.
My quest for knowledge is also driven by necessity... I love older vehicles and having more knowledge about how the electronics work will likely be invaluable when it comes to keeping them on the road.
I'm looking forward to learning from the experts here and maybe someday getting to the point where I can help others.
