I completely understand what your talking about.  
And gathering up a wealth of knowledge and 
information is great.  But it can be done in many 
more ways than immedietly posting messages all 
over a forum even if it specificly says "if your 
a newbie research before posting."  I'm not 
necessairly talking about this forum, it happens 
really rare on here because of the extremely 
helpful crowd of vets and the fact that cels 
aren't exactly too complicated an issue, but in 
general its a pet peeve of mine when people dont 
take the time to look up the least bit of 
information before 'ignorantly' (this sounds a 
little harsh, but I couldn't think of a better 
word) sucking all the information out of the 
seasoned veterans and usually tossing away their 
respectability right from the start. simply 
because they dont care enough to try and find 
things out the way the original vets did... 
researching on their own.
I'm sorry, I dont think I'll be supporting 
the "save the newbies" fund any time soon, ^^ but 
there's no doubt I'll have a lot more respect for 
you as you grow and learn.
Also... Just curious... are you one of the 
seasoned vets on any of the forums you ever go 
to?  or are you speaking completely as a 100% 
newbie, never having experienced 'newbies' from a 
different stand point other than the one you so 
clearly support?
later,
