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 beetle |

| 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". J. |

| 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!!! |

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. Cheers Billy 8-{) :D |

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 Cheers Billy 8-{) :| |
