165428 2003-08-04 13:17:00 ok when , would a newbie not ne considered a newbie anymore?

have been told im not a newbie anymore.....LOL as i still terribly newbie to this computer industry and all its knowledge levels how or why am i not a newbie any more?

i cant or dont consider myself to be a expert or in anyway computer literate enough to pass on much info ....

but would be interested to know just how someone else or a general idea of when a newbie isnt a newbie anymore...
and how many not newbies we have at pf1 that arent regulars or part of the furniture .... when they became a not a newbie? LOL if you understand what i mean.?

LOL this is really odd, but i still feel like a newbie...
and not a record poster or knowledgeable person by any means and most of my postings are weird questions with multiple requestioning...

and what makes you feel like a newbie or a regular? knowable person who is not a newbie?

thanxs

165429 2003-08-04 13:22:00 we are all newbies in one way or other....

the day you stop learning is the day you are the guest of honour at a gathering where people you haven't seen for years turn up to speak wonderful things about you that you wished they said when you were there to hear it.

I guess the degree of n00bness varies, as my grandad used to say "you don't know what you don't know".

165430 2003-08-04 14:21:00 What is a Newbie? Well you may well ask.

INHO (In My Humble Opinion) the word Newbie covers people whom bounce into a forum or newsgroup or FidoNet without reading Posts to get the general flavour of what is happening on that Forum etc.

This wouldn't include you Beetle!

IMHO you have Graduated.

You know where to go to ask the questions and you can do that in a way that is polite.

That makes you NOT a Newbie!!!

:D

I think you're no longer considered n00b, when you can help others with things.. I wouldnt onsider myself a n00b anymore with RedHat Linux, but I've still got a long way to go before I reach g33k status ;-)

Oh, anywhere between 50 and 542 posts beetle, but you left newbieness behind many moons ago.

IMHO Newbieness is more a state of mind than anything else, and the day you felt relaxed about posting a question or an answer, and didn't get sweaty palms you were home free.

and i definetly have no problem with posting.....LOL just actually staying on track about the actual question is sometimes difficult for me.... as my mind is running about a block ahead of my fingers (which dont type fast enough) and have hundreds of things bombarding me at same time as doing this computer jargon work and answering phones and with my 5th arm im drinking that continous coffee i seem to run on...... LOL

thanxs guys nice to know somebody actually reads my posts sometimes.

Yes! Names such as normal, human, sane, gottalife and anything else that suggests healthy normality tinged with a modicum of computing expertise and experience will do .

Goob, Geeb, Nook or Neek are out though . :D

That's provided you feel that you need a label at all beetle
