Hey, no problem. Your post just looked a little weird over there.
Let me give you a little background on the warforged, maybe that'll straighten it out for you, maybe not. I'm not an expert because I'm still waiting on a couple books, but here goes...
In Eberron, there's been this huge, WWII-ish or hundred years war-ish conflict that just wrapped up a few (2? 5?) years ago. Not surprisingly, developments in magic took the place of weapons technology devlopment in our world. About 30 years ago, one of the noble houses figured out a way to make living construct soldiers...just pop 'em off the assembly line, give 'em a few weeks of training, and send them into battle. That's the warforged. Maybe not the perfect soldiers, but not half bad...fiercely loyal, don't have to feed 'em, they never sleep, march all night and fight all day without rest. I don't know how many were built, but it's in the thousands. Of course, many were destroyed in the fighting.
At the end of the hostilities, several treaties were drawn up, and the fate of the warforged had to be determined. The two big provisions were this: All warforged were considered to be free beings and not property, although they could indenture themselves like any free being (and many did). The other big thing was that the forges were all shut down permanently, outlawing the manufacture of new warforged. That was all 2 years before the start of the game.
There is a community in the middle of a land that was made barren by the war. Not having to eat or drink, they can make a living there where hardly any other creature could. Few visit there, as simply travling is an ordeal on par with crossing the Sahara or Antarctica. There's a rumor that the leader of this community (himself a warforged) has rediscovered the magics of the forge, and is making new warforged, but nobody knows if that's real or just campfire stories.
So, you've got a few thousand of these beings, most of them about the age of a small child, who know nothing beyond what they were trained to do during the war, and some of whom are taking up the adventuring life as a way of coping with their existance. It's not for everyone, but it looked interesting to me, and I've been having fun with it so far.
Hope that helps.
