I don't know about any other newbies, but I find this kind of insulting - insinuating that I (as I was on that other threat, despite the fact that I tried to get the last person on this list a link on the new one) am some sort of lamer like you stated above.

That it may be, but not EVERYONE on that other line is the same, thank you so very much!

Ah, yes. Ignore all the people who HAVE made other posts on that list, just because of all these horrible newbies you're complaining about.

Is THIS what this list is all about? Slandering newbies?
