No offence Op, but, I see this thread as a waste of time. Because in less than three days this whole thread will become buried by other threads making it difficult for others (newbies) to find. Aside from that, most of the links in your post can easily be found in meta and beginners & help board making it more useless.
Are you for real? Like a newbie like you who hasn't been on this forum for more than a month wants to assist a legendary member who has been on here for years.
Sorry to say, but no matter your status in this world you should have an open heart to learn from others no matter how low they are to you in status comparison. You will be surprised about the thing you will learn from those that you think are beneath you i.e. if only you would submit yourself to learning...
Isn't that an insult? What sort of guide will you provide for him here on the forum that he hasn't read about? You had better be aware of the viewpoints you express here. You shouldn't let the fact that the forum is open to everyone's opinions prevent you from being at least somewhat polite.
It's only text and what the OP wrote could be entirely different from what he or she meant to say.
