I try to check the Newbie forum at least daily. Newbies will get their questions answered, and will learn a lot more, if they stop spamming the newbie thread to get to their 5 post limit and actually participate in intelligent useful discussion instead.
And I definitely applaud your efforts. Your point is fair enough, though personally (and I'm sure plenty would agree) I don't really feel that I have the knowledge on this subject to participate in an intelligent useful discussion.
I suppose I was being slightly passive aggressive since I'm hoping the reason I haven't found a solution to my problem is that I posted it in the newbie section (and not that there isn't any known solution).
Again, I do appreciate your diligence in taking care of the growing newbie pool.
