I'm not really a cowboy. I just greet people as one.
I got hooked into dominion about 2-3 months ago when a tournament started on another message board. I lurked the tournament, started an iso account and proceeded to get crushed. (I think I literally lost 30 games in a row to start my time on iso.)
I've read some of the basic articles and picked up the base set game on iOS. It helped to a certain extent, but not much on iso since there's all of the other cards in there.
I really enjoy playing, even when I'm getting crushed. I feel like I'm learning something new that I can use in the future.
I'm a little concerned about the future of dominion online, but I can only hope that the powers that be will make it accessible to as many players as possible.
