I've only been on a year though. So when do you become a rookie? I guess my esteem is such that i still feel like a newbie. :( I guess I need words of affirmation all the time. See what public school did to me?

You're only a newb till the first time your butt's been chewed and you come back anyway.
You're only a rookie the first year.

Therefore, it's possible to not be a rookie but still be a newb.
Got it ?

But you're a reg'lar now, so relax

I've been here 5 years and I'm still intimidated by the "oldtimers". ;)
