Hey there Trapt, I hope you are doing okay; please excuse the semi-hijack...

Trapt, Mach, Snodderly, any of you longtimers and/or gentlemen who have gotten your heads around all of this...I was just over in Newcomers traveling around, as though I didn't have enough to do, and I came across a thread in which some of the responses (especially the later ones) to the poster whose thread it is were so merciless (and from some surprising sources) that it just made my blood pressure spike, which is quite an accomplishment.

I fully agreed that the newbie whose thread it is needed some redirection of his approach, but some of what was written to him was downright cruel, in my opinion, and some of the advice was quite anti-DB. I wrote a response, but I was so mad that I didn't think I should post it. I don't know if this is just pushing some kind of a button for me somehow, and I am blowing it way out of proportion in my mind, or if others will agree with my take on the responses to him.

Would you folks mind going over and posting to this poor confused guy, who may be doing everything all wrong in DB terms but also seems to be getting shot at from every direction on top of it? I need to cool down before I say anything on his thread because otherwise I am going to be ripping into some of the people who have responded to him. Here's the link to his thread:

I know you all will be able to give kinder and more balanced and helpful advice than some of what has been posted to him thus far. Now I remember why I haven't been to Newcomers in yonks.

Thanks very much for humoring me and my request!

Peace,
Dawn
