I REALLY enjoy the site. So much information and opinions shared.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have noticed one disturbing trend though. KNOW IT ALLS. </p><p>Hey, it&#039;s great that there are SO MANY REALLY KNOWLEDGEABLE members out there but must you talk down to those that aren&#039;t as savvy?</p><p><br /></p><p>Honestly it really doesn&#039;t bother me personally. Irritates me a bit when I&#039;m the target but I can take it. </p><p>What bothers me is the way some people respond to &quot;newbies&quot;. I&#039;m talking newbies to the greatest hobby on earth here. </p><p><br /></p><p>MOST of the time when these people ask a question they get GREAT advice and opinions but on other occasions it&#039;s more like &quot;how can you be so stupid?&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>I look at it this way, these people have taken the time to find the site in order to learn. A question may seem silly to some but think about when you first decided to start collecting. Did you know what you do now?</p><p><br /></p><p>Many of us go way back before computers and had to buy books and read and most of us still do but is it that difficult to share what you&#039;ve learned in a civil manner?</p><p><br /></p><p>I can be curt myself and often without intending to be. Some of what I see is just plain rude.</p><p>Think about that the next time your fingers touch the keyboard.</p><p><br /></p><p>P.S. I actually do know the average air speed of an unladen swallow (both African and European)![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
