Personally I find that offputting. At least you all seem to be welcoming for the most part.

Everyone was new at some point, right?
Hopefully you've figured out that newbies or minimal posters (lurkers) is not the same thing as a troll. A troll is specifically trying to rile up the regulars. It comes from fishing as in casting bait...trolling.

me? I just ignore the stuff I don't feel like answering. Chances are someone else will, and does, answer.
