I am probably going to get a nasty gram from tom over this but im going to chime in on brandon's message.
First of all he if you really think telling someone that is just starting the hobby to expect to know everything some of the members have "learned" over the last 1000 years, then you might need to look take a look at yourself first, not to mention hes only like 15 years old. You want to pick on someone older send me a PM, i might address it a bit different.
there are alot of folks on here with really good ideas and opinions and i can not thank them enough, however some tend to shoot then possibly ask questions later. I realize you have been doing this for quite some time but you really need to be a bit more tactful when you formulate your opinions.
For those who have a tendency of getting lost on these forums, read the sub-forum heading NEW TO THE HOBBY!!!!!!!!
if you have nothing nice to say....fill in the blank
