I guess Flyertalk should just be for "old timers" like yourself then?

Quite a sweeping generalization here, no? I've seen many instances where quite a few new members have posted some valuable info despite being a "newbie" and many where an "old timer" has "posted repetitive stuff -- the same old-same old -- because they don't realize what has already been posted over the last six-plus years".
Things like this happen to everyone (even me) so why single out one group? You can a) Direct them to the correct thread or b) Ignore it and move along
Can't we all just get along...newbies and old timers???
