My suggestion to newbies is to READ, READ, READ. Start with going back 100 days on those forums that interest you and read the threads. There is such a wealth of information already here. I think sometimes people don't want to put in their own effort, and their first post is something - how can I get a lot of miles? After you've done that, maybe go back6 months. If things need clarification because it isn't clear, I know lots of people are willing to help. Good luck, and welcome.
