That reminds me of when I first joined and started contributing.
A poster had requested advice on their setup. I admitted in my first sentence, that I was brand new. I then went on to regurgitate what I have learned on GWE Mothership.
The poster then jumped all over me because I was new...even though my research was sound.
The heroic denizens of this forum jumped to my defense, browbeating the OP and complimenting my advice.
I'm still here, the OP is long gone, AFAIK.
