Re: Posts undeleted
I completely agree.
Not at all. Newbie and 'noob' are both used generically when speaking about internet-based activities (and even some real-life activities).
I'm reluctant to refer to Wikipedia, especially articles that are locked because of vandalism (and are thus controversial) but the zeitgeist seems to be captured here.
Note in particular that the national US tv show 'Scrubs' has a character that frequently refers to another character as 'Newbie.' (A more senior doctor referring to new doctor.)
