Re: Posts undeleted

It's not coming across too well!

Here's the difference between a 3 year old and a mud newbie: The three year old is three years old. The mud newbie may be an intelligent adult who is simply unused to the social conventions here.

I'll also note that I, at least, find the term 'noob' to be inherently patronizing and derogatory, though I realize that's subject to personal viewpoint.


Ok, so, you sound exactly like a newbie administrator to me in this thread. Should I take this opportunity to correct you, "for your own good?" Clearly, you need some instruction for the good of both yourself and everyone else.


Beware the newbie admin who considers it his duty to reform society because he thinks he knows better.

Are your hackles up yet?

Why?

Don't you like being treated like a 'noob' and being told how it is when you're off-base?

I can't blame you. Nobody does.
