Steve,
I don't think there is a specific group that deals with the nuances of the joys of technical data. Though a goodly percentage of us on Adepters do have some 'experience' with that particular topic. 😄 Some names that immediately come to mind are Ed Benton, his sidekick Brandon Ibach, Andy Esslinger and me. There are many others out there who post sporadically or just LURK. 😄
Now it might be nice to have a TM based group somewhere. Not to sure where to house it though.
As to not understanding much of what is posted. Read and ask questions. There is no such thing as a dumb question (unless it is one that is unasked).

P.S. Walk up to Kathy and say "Welfare check." She'll know who you've been talking too. And it's nothing that will get you killed or otherwise injured.
