Ultimate BA Guide springs to mind as being one example.
I will have to plead guilty to not welcoming newcomers at times and in places in the past but resolved a while back to exhibit a kinder, gentler attitude to recent arrivals to these online shores.
Excellent example. I know virtually nothing about BA, as an AA flyer. Well, I was flying BA and went there to get some info. I spent some time and found out how to OLCI for international flights (had no idea I could do that there). I even found a way to "beat the system" and join BAEC without earning a single tier point (and figured out what a tier point was). I didn't feel I should post to ask about it when the information was readilly available.
Newbies may be ner here, but unlikely new to computer and web technology. They've searched somewhere. Why not expect it here as well?
Cheers.
