I noticed the lack of newbie forum this morning...I also had noticed the lack of participation there...I almost regretted putting my intro post there, since it seemed that you got more replies and got to know people more if you posted your "I'm new" post in the main forum...
I understand that many people here have been doing this a long time, and get perterbed when a newbie to the industry, like myself, asks a question that has been "answered a million times in a million different places, and I just need to do my own research..." but, I have been doing research to no avail. Some times when it's been discussed by others who have been in this business longer, people start to use acronyms or just assume that you have knowledge of "what's been done in the past," or "at another board."
I apologize in advance for asking "stupid questions", but reading old threads doesn't necessarily answer my question (as most of them run off topic after a few posts, or information has changed since then.) I have a lot of questions, and I've simply been trying to break things down to the lowest common denominator, not just for my own benefit, but for others who are new to the industry as well.
Anyway, that's the end of my rant/pre-emptive apology.
Just hope that you all are still patient with me when I ask "stupid questions" in the main forum, instead of in the now non-existant newbie area.
