WarLobo -- not to get off topic here -- but your reference to newbies not posting is ME to a "t". I lurked here for I would say at least a year .... there was alot of impatience and judgment and finger pointing. What seemingly was an obvious question to ask, was met with an unkindness and the answer "do a search". [Sometimes a search locks up the board and equally at times the threads are old enough for the topic to be re-visited]. The sentiment that newbies were a bother was indeed prevalent.
I do know I mentioned this via pm to one Mod a while back and my words were taken seriously and I greatly appreciated that. But I still was reluctant to post more often as I still felt a little uneasy.
Equally, some newbies who seemed to not fit the "mold" were often brushed off or their posts were deliberately ignored. To me it sent a message: silence is deafening.
Bring it up to present day -- I has gotten to be a bit different than it was, and I say a resounding THANK YOU to all vets and mods for that.
Okay I thread jacked for a few paragraphs -- everyone else can go back to discussing.
