..... I don’t think even if your post deserves to be merited you won’t because of that so you need to be careful about that one too, if not there is nothing bad to post because of merit.
Since here is beginners section, kindly let me know if I violated any of the forum rules with the post that you feel the post will not be merited. I am asking because I feel bad seeing that a posted intended to motivate new guys to take the resources of the forum seriously is referred to as merit fishing post by you and few others. Perhaps there is something I can learn from your explanation, so point out the areas I did not do well so I can improve.
It might be that I posted in the wrong section of the forum or maybe I did not use the right words, as a senior member of the forum, kindly guide me because I want to do better. Finally, you should not expect me to post like a pro seeing that I am relatively new here... this is the mistake most of you senior members are making... you raise the bar so high for newcomers and very quick to shout them down and damping their spirit. I feel this does not make for continuity and might make a lot of them to be afraid of posting or asking questions. With time, they will disappear leaving the forum for only the pro who understand everything in the forum. Remember, no one goes to where he/she is not welcomed.
