Right, I've had enough!

All of you who are classified as newbie please shut up!

I will respect you a lot more if you post sensibly and have 'newbie' after your name, than if you post loads of crap and have 'regular' after your name.

Im sick to death already of people saying "How come im not a regular, i've been here 3 months" or what ever.

STOP IT!

I feel i speak for most of the FoG here, but if i don't, please speak up.

Try reading the post, next time. Don't just look for your name and reply...

(God, it's pick on Sniper day today, isn't it?)

Well. Yes.

Hang on here, so you're saying that me, Grix, FM, Snipe and Meka all lie???

I agree with Meka on this one.

No, your understanding is right!

What I'm saying is can you call someone a newcomer if they've been posting for 6 months? All I can say is, some of you 'Regulars' better get off to the Post Office to collect your pensions! :-)

It doesn't?

I thought "newbie" meant you are new and "newcomer" also means you are new.

Am I wrong then?

Please correct me if I am.

Just remember that not all newbies are bad.

Give all new comers a fair chance to let themselfes shine.

I say, that's a bit strong Your Honour.


True, after re-reading it i agree.

But there were so many messages last night moaning about people being newbies when they didnt think they should be etc.

It just annoyed me slightly.

I apologise and would like to say that I value newbies opinions just as much as Tony's, i.e i ignore them.

The coolest ISP ever!
In my opinion, the ISP is the best I have ever used. They guarantee 'first time connection - everytime', which they have never let me down on.

Over the years I've become very jaded after many bad experiences with customer services, you have bucked the trend. Polite and efficient from the Freeola team, well done to all involved.
