Default Bought my first board, a little help please

I've been skiing for about 15 years and first tried snowboarding back in
1999. I loved it for the week of vacation in 99 so again in 2000 I boarded
the entire week at Tahoe. Its been since 2000 but I'm going again in a few
weeks and just bought my own board. I just have a question about the
stance/bindings. Mine is setup with my front foot pointed slightly toward
the front of the board. The binding indicates about 4 degrees forward. My
rear binding is set exactly perpendicular to the board. When I used rented
boards I never really noticed the exact binding placement. What would the
typical setup be as far as what direction the binding point from
perpendicular to the board. I had assumed both would be a couple of degrees
out from 0 like a natural stance.
If it matters, I have strap bindings.

Any advice where to start would be appreciated, thanks.


John
