Wow, this post is going to change the world, let's sticky it
The only effect a post like this is going to have is going to have is a negative one; people who browse through it will think we're all retarded *******s- which is exactly what I would have thought had this post been the first one I read.
Maybe it's just my optimistic nature, but I think there has been a lot of DAMN good advice written on these boards recently. Why do the vets here act like it's some kind of crisis now, that sosuave is in jeapordy of doom or something? lol, it's ludicrous. I've seen the same types of posts- in the same quantities, basically- on here throughout the 2 years I've been following this board.
I guess sosuave.com just follows the general pattern of a forum-
there are a few elite guys who really know their sh!t but have personalities that scare off noobs, a bunch of tools who give props to whatever the elite guys post, regardless of what it is, the detached guys who give advice without all the bullsh!t, and noobs. I wish the vets here would be more detached- they'd stop caring about the proportions of AFC's to DJ's on this board and focus on *individuals*. I think their knowledge and experience would be most beneficial in this way.
And think about this: It is human nature for people who visit a site for the first time to bypass search engines or the site FAQ- people do this in different forms all the time. Get over it. The best thing to do is give them a tidbit of advice, then refer them to the bible for more detailed explanations (assuming the question is a basic noob one).
All that sh!t said....it's still a good idea to get your ass off the computer and out into the world. So...later
