I'm a newby to the forum as well to AAS. I do try to keep my questions to a minimum, partly because i like to read the threads first, but also partly because of threads like these that do discourage newbies from asking questions. You're all right to complain about "useless" posts. but keep in mind that these newbies, including myself, value and look for your opinions, whether it's been posted or not. What'll happen is when newbies stop getting answers or get flamed for asking, then they'll just move on to another forum. Is that what you really want? Isn't the forum originally here to answer questions and guide people from harming themselves? Rmember the old sayng "there are no stupid questions"?? Just my 2 cents.....
