Agreed. In forums I often get annoyed with newcomers and stick my nose in the air, but then you have to remember, everybody was new to something once. There's no need to be rude because you've heard about something before somebody else.

I myself started mining two years ago, stopped, started, stopped and started up again 6 months ago. I practically never interacted with the community, I did my own development, tested my own hardware, etc., but I've had experience in the area. Not everybody has. I still appreciate those who are willing to help, everybody has their own strengths and weaknesses.

Thanks evgonoba for mentioning that.
