Well I guess your right when you post something like that, that is moronic.

Heres the point, no one called anyone a moron. At least not until way down a long thread when its no longer about monitors.

What happens is, many feel like a moron, because they did not know, what they thought they knew. They are told something totally different then what they expected or wanted to hear. Of course that makes them feel, not so smart. But surely do not blame the ones trying to help you.

But its not my fault or others with experience. What would you have me or others do. Act like we know nothing? Talk down to you? or treat you like an equal? I treat people like an equal and let them/you work it out. Often, they get all moronic, so I guess some think not having experience with monitors makes them less of a person. I did not know that being good at monitors made me a better person. I kinda thought it made me odd, and no more.

A friends husband was roping a week or so ago, and got pitched. Well it tore his arse up, literally destoryed his hip bones and tore his guts up. While in the waiting room as he returned from his second major surgery, his relatives found out I worked with snakes and lizards. They thought I was crazy for doing so. I explained, I never fell off a dang snake/lizard and broke my bum. Yes as one who likes reptiles, I do understand we are the odd ones out.

The truth is, there are far to many of you(newbies) to treat you all as individuals(I do know you are) but you all come with the same exact questions, and are surprised your wrong in the same exact way, and many like you react like someone called you names.

Being inexperienced is not a bad name, its a state of learning. You are NEW, WHY do you expect to be right? Then what ives you the impression that you should understand and agree with someone with thousands of times your experience? Well, I hate to tell you, that would be a very very rare thing. It could happen, but don't bet on it.

When a inexperienced person gains experience, they move from that state and into another state, one with experience. I am positive that single person would not agree with his old self. I am hoping I do not argee with me, by next year.

In fact, this happens all the time, a newbie comes here, listens to whats said, then requritates it to the next newbies, and guess what? They whine at that person about the same things and in the same way your doing.

Lastly, you criticise me, yet whos worse, me who tries to help you, or you who attacks a helping hand. Well you may be right, I do think its moronic to criticise those that are only looking out for the welfare of your monitor.(your responsibility)Remember I recieve no benefit from trying to help you or others. Cheers
