There are always going to be new people joining the sport, and they wil all have similar questions.
Until they've been here for a while, they won't know where to turn to get the info they need, ie looking up FAQ's, archives, etc. That's where forums like this come in, where people that have been around for awhile can offer their assistance, and the newbie can get an answer to their question in the shortest time.
May be old hat to some, but very important to the novice, and may contribute keeping them in the sport, which is good for all of us.
Forums like this are a great way to contribute, and pay back some of the great times we've had riding.
Hang in there Dnvr, you have and can still make a great contribution.
