But aside from that, yes, I've studied it as part of my religious studies major in college, attended a few DLs and debating wacky protestants with an AO friend.
A few of my relatives were Russian Orthodox, and I had attended Russian Orthodox Masses. I can find no differences in belief from Roman Catholic that I was raised as, the main differences I found were the language and the fact that Orthodox Priests marry.

There are some differences. Some significant enough (or at least so they were viewed at the time) to result in the Great Schism. But I am not Orthodox. I can fill you in from my general knowledge, or I can put you in contact with some Orthodox who you can be in conversation with yourself.
