Thank you Ziroc for continuing my thread and adding to it!

I'll answer your three new questions as well:

WHAT WERE YOU DOING WHEN YOU HEARD OF THE ATTACKS ON 9-11-2001?
Driving in my car on my way to work (D.C.). Was halfway there when I heard on the radio about the first plane crashing into the WTC. Was horrified, but thought it was an accident. The DJs on the radio station I was listening to apparently had a TV there, and were tuning in and watching footage and describing it to us listeners. Then I heard one of the female DJs suck in her breath, and the others saying "Oh my God!". Then they told us about the second crash into the other WTC building. Just hearing the sounds of their voices was enough for you to know this was VERY serious, as these guys are Never serious for the most part (Station is DC101 for those few that may know). I finally arrived to work and promptly turned on the radio there. It was obvious to me at that point that it was not an "accident," but I still never had any fear that something would happen near me, I mean, the attack on the WTC was so huge, I figured that was it. Then the radio station started taking in callers, and this guy called who was working in the Pentagon. He was reporting so far what he knew about the WTC situation, and then he says "Hey guys, the building just shuddered, something may have happened here, I'm not sure." (He was apparently far away from the crash site, but still felt the reverberations. He started saying he was looking out the window, and the construction workers were all running away. He at first thought that a helicopter had crashed into the heliopad. Ten minutes later we learned what had actually happened, that indeed, another commercial airline, as with the WTC, had crashed into the Pentagon. Everyone in D.C., government or not, started evacuating the area, including our office. Was chaos that would take too much time to type and describe. I sat in traffic for three 1/2 hours getting home, sitting in heavy traffic, watching police car after firetruck constantly try to get by. Everyone watching the skies and afraid.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE MESSAGE FORUM ON IRONWORKS?
General Discussion of course

HOW DID YOU FIND IRONWORKS AND THE FORUM?
Was looking for BGII answers. Went to Yahoo. Typed in the search box "Baldurs Gate 2 walkthroughs", and ping! Thar she was!
