Let me try to explain myself in a way that is non-argumentative. I did not mean to sound like I was complaining about the abundance of noobs, if I was then I apologize, not only would that have been hypocritical of me, but also ********-ed. I was only trying to help everyone out by redirecting the noob posts of "what should I dos" to the sticky. I also, well this isn't as evident, but I also was trying to stop the insults of some senior members to noob posts (thus "nub advocacy FTW") because it is not productive and it may not be said from time to time but it hurts some people who cannot handle them and thus discourages them from visiting the forums again. Ironically, I failed in this and was insulted (well it kinda hurt man) in the process, so I guess the best thing to do is just let this phenomenon be and stop bein a whiny byatch.

I like talking about this stuff, and I like talking about it over and over again because each time I participate in a thread that interests me, even for the thousandth time, I learn something.
The days of "precious" bandwidth went away about ten years ago.
I see where you are coming from Ken and there really is no argument to that so thanks for opening my crusty eyes to this...So I guess that just renders my whole "senior members don't like those kinda posts" post false. Oh well, you can't blame a guy for tryin'
..well actually you can but..
Oh and on a somewhat related note, I was actually willing to argue the whole bandwidth bit if it ever came up but now that it's here, I don't really have a rebuttal!
