Thank you!
I think this is so very true, being a n00b isn't fun, I am reading whole threads and have no idea what everyone is even talking about! I have to google abbreviations, acronyms and equipment parts and sometimes I reach the end and still don't understand how the subject might be pertinent to me now or in the future when I do have more experience.
I try, and am sure many are like me, to research things or search for answers before asking questions.... But sometimes answers can be illusive, often because we are asking the wrong question and don't even realize it. Then, there are those moments when it does hit us and it can be a smack on the forehead kind of moment when one realizes how simple it was and that the answer was right in front of your face all the time. This is all a part of any learning curve, no one was born knowledgeable and everyone learns at a different pace.
I just want to shout out a big Thank You to those tireless individuals that still feel that no question is stupid, nor unworthy of some sort of explanation (even if it is only to refer the questioner to a previous thread) you are doing us and this forum a great service and you are worthy mentors. You are very much appreciated!

As a moderator, ........ but many times it's because the n00b's don't know what they don't know and are confused about everything. ..........
