I may not have posted much, but as a reader of these forums I've noticed that many people like yourself with high post counts tend take a somwhat contemning and elitist attitude in followup posts when a newbie makes an innocent or ignorant error in a post. Face it, someone new may see a topic where it makes sense to post their question. Next thing you know, they're getting barbs from you guys. Perhaps it's just a way for you to get your gratification by increasing your post count by 1. But hey, whatever makes you feel like a "contributor"... Why not just bring it up with the mods if it intrudes on your FT experience that much. ^ |

a) apparently, you're more concerned with my post count than I am. b) i help those who show an inclination to help themselves. those who just post expecting an answer, i "help" them by showing them to the search function or refering them to a stickie, so they know where to find an answer in the future. give a man a fishing pole.... |

With that said, Welcome to FT dodgy, cospike, and The Thumbs Up Guy! Anyways, I hope you have a better understanding of this terminology. |

But then again, no one likes me, so who cares... Yes yes, we were all newbs once. Better that OP stops being a newb sooner rather than later. :rolleyes: |

Some people do appear to not be patient sometimes. I remember one guy who asked a question - only had 3 posts. He ended up getting EMails to his yahoo account since his FT name was also his yahoo name.
Most people do have patience with newbie's but some don't. I just hope it doesn't discourage more newbies to come on board. A couple of the great MR deals have actually been posted by newbies so I am definitely against a minimum number of posts to access the MR forum. |

What does a/i really mean? I know it means all in, from what I've read, but what does it really mean? Does it mean including taxes?
Thanks =D |

Holy resurrection! Hard to believe that people got slammed for asking questions 5 years ago just like today.

But did get to the glossary to try to find out what HIP stands for, not there. Nor is a google search very revealing. I am guessing xx in progress? |
