I may be a newbie, but I don't think that makes my opinion any less valid. I will be using one of those headstones someday and thought I'd weigh in on the issue.

You're right. Just think, after a while people won't be able to use that "newbie" label on you. Then they'll have to find some other label to stick to you. And when they do that, their arguments will be just as flimsy. Namecalling is never a good way to win an argument, and rational posters and lurkers know that.

No, the opinion wasn't valid, and it has little to do with your "newbie" status. :-) Opinions are like that...

Online manners would seem to say that it is not in good taste to criticize a huge group of the community while you are a newbie. That is my complaint. You're OK. Just think about what I said. If you are the real deal you will be OK here, newbie or not. If you are a disrupter then fear for your cyberlife here on FR.
