I will have to agree with koolguynet on this one. If you generalize, people will be hurt. Even newbies don't want to be reminded that they are newbies too much - it makes people feel worth less and that's just plain stupid.

We are all newbies in a certain field at one time, and the thing that makes us better is people helping. If you get too much criticism in one field you just choose to go to another one - which I am sure we do not want to happen here.

I am not a frequent poster in here, but I have been following this forum from almost the time of it's start, and I generally think we have a fairly friendly and very helpful, if somewhat developer-oriented, forum. Being mostly a developer myself, this hits the sweet spot for me :-)
