I think the easiest thing to do is simply grin and bear it. spend the hours it takes to get accustomed to the language and references. I never wanted to be someone who was begging for help and really I have gotten some things on my own this past couple months because I simply copy and past posts into an email by subject I'm interested in. Then I re read all of it and it begins to make sense. I am part of several forums for different interests and nobody likes the FNG. But relax and as long as you aren't in a hurry take baby steps it will come to you. You can't expect to have 10,000 post knowledge in your first 10 posts.
