Imagine being a serious newbie...
Every couple of days there is a newbie wanting a great bike for $200 and wanting this crowd to steer them in the right direction. Sadly, they appear to have never seen, nor heard of, the magical search feature some forums have.
Then, there are folks who are either trolls or newbies just not thinking who post up really stupid questions. Many of which, the trolls, never even respond again in their own threads.
From this, many folks here have created numerous enjoyable responses, maybe even games, like who can post up certain responses the fasted. There is even one person getting teased when he is late to the feeding frenzy.
Yet, I really wonder about that rare person who is totally serious and totally clueless about searching???? It would be great if we could have a webcam on them as they try to make sense of the responses they are getting....
Just a thought, or three, no criticism. I enjoy the festivities.

Long time Lurker always reminds me of Stinky, from Hey Arnold, weezing over Helga's shoulder.
