Lay Off the Newbies!

As george stands before God shaking his head and saying, "That BS pure snake oil" POOF!!

Ain’t snake oil now is it george, saying it over and over won’t change a thing george, BUT it sure is entertaining to watch you try..

The Apostle George # 14 unspoken of until now... :-)

Isn’t there at least a different verse or something george.. ONE verse one page bible.. LOL

Don’t get mad george.. but that big ol thumb of yours is so tempting with my big ol hammer every now and then..

If "Georges witnesses" show up at your door and knock.. LOL
Answer the door naked!! They might leave, depends..

OP I started posting 4-5 years ago under oldhvymec. I was on AG 20 plus years ago and forgot my call sign.

Honest to god newbies deserve consideration.

I love the new fellows that post the questions and the answer in a 4 page header and ALL CAPS. Then tells you he was drunk or drank a bottle of something..
Potheads included, they tend to be a little more paranoid though.

I like it when every other word is spelled wrong, NO caps, a single blur from beginning to end and full of "u" and "4u" and all the lazy crap that goes with being a lazy a$$, THEN a big fat period..

I LOVE it when they log on under audio2design, and 30 other names just to be an A$$ an tell everyone how they are wrong.

I really get in happy land when a newbie tells a guy with a good solid answer, has done and given the same sound advise over and over again and the newbie says "but my zillion dollar this and my zillion dollar that, and my zillion dollar friend, told me not to buy the 4.00 usd one (that works) it has to cost at least a 1/2 zillion dollars, if you don’t mind would you mind your OWN business, I’M to busy trying to impress people with the KA-zillion dollars I wasted..

YEA honest to god newbies deserve consideration. BUT HAND TO GOD some DON’T..

No it's not, read what he said, he has NO SWITCH, he want’s to ADD one.

LOL I'll bet you don't stop at stop signs or use a turn signal either.  :-)

This is a great example right here. READ what I said. HE has the box and he has to draw the schemo. WE (that me) can’t get it.. I don’t or can’t copy from what I don’t have. A picture inside the box would have even helped.

"good solder skills" now good drawing skills and post the schemo, I’LL DRAW THE LINES and add the switch. I liked the knife edge for an A/B switch.. Did YOU read the post? REALLY?

Semi regards at this point.. 6 out of 10.. we’ll see..

Be Irish hate EVERYTHING.. Most of all yourself.. BUT we love our mudders and da pooch and rabbit in my case.

I’m joking .. kinda...

Regards

YUP.. Unless it's a stress post.. I just dropped a set of cables and blew up my system.. those post can seem a little urgent.. I did it for the first time 2-3 years ago.. I must have sounded NUTTIER than usual.. 

Mercy that was a bad day..  Right in there with "penicillin for WHAT?" days..

Regards

Thank you so much for this. I've been lurking in the shadows of this site but never joined specifically because of that, I'm afraid to ask a question. I signed up right after reading this just so I could post this. Thank you

Welcome to AGon..
It can be a lot of fun, They unlock me twice a day.. :-)

OP you can see I like to cut up (maybe to much), but in all honesty, when a new person ask a question the quality of the question usually determines the quality of the answer.

YOU seem sincere in your effort to make them feel at home, maybe consult with the AG staff and see if you can head up a new topic on the forum to accommodate, "New Comers" "New Guest" "Newbies" "The First Stop".

Maybe a little introduction to the behavior that will be tolerated by all, what won’t be tolerated by ANY and the difference between the two.

There are no rules chiseled in stone, BUT a few.

No "NASTY" name callin’.
Be respectful.
Curve the political rants. Red, Blue, Neither or ALL. (curve NOT Stop) Its ok to fly your colors, just not in my face.
Do unto others as you would have THEM do unto you.

BUT above all, contribute to the forum in a constructive way. Enjoy yourself. Be aware sometime it takes a little intervention on the Staffs part, sometimes on the members part, and sometimes on the EVERYONES part including the "The New Person". Nothing wrong with standing up for yourself in the shadow of a BULLY.

"I’ll be your Huckleberry" against that mean ol "Johnny Ringo"

BUT that is NOT the natures of most AD regulars. Good honest folks..

WELCOME has always been the AG way..

Unfortunately there are SOME that will even take offence to being called a "Newbie". I mean after all they have been turning knobs like the rest of us their whole lives, too..

With great respect and regards to ALL, New or Not..

Well heck george they removed my post.. Wonder who got me.. LOL
I’m still gonna answer the door naked.. My house, My rules..
I wore a mask. What else you want. Maybe I’ll go with the classic trench coat look and a cigarette holder.

I mean I didn’t even call anybody a booger eatin’ spaz or anything..

I mean the dog, the rabbit, the goat, the chickens they are ALL naked.. The dog answers the door all the time.
