Keyholders, Mistress', Dom's, Leads

I was wondering (as I am new here) if there is - or has ever been - a thread for just Keyholders, Mistress', Dom's, and Leads where they can gather to exchange ideas and suggestions - and possibly even offer support for those new to the various levels within this realm. I know there are a multitude of books out there - but as someone who does a lot of archeological and anthropological research of ancient cultures, most books are subjective and more times than not, actually being able to talk to a person instead of just reading the words - can be extremely beneficial when trying to piece together the in's - and - out's of a given endeavor.
