I don't understand why people would mind being called a Newbie. When I first started, that was part of the fun. I didn't take "Newbie" as an insult or being a new collector, but new to the forum. It was really exciting seeing my postings being built up to when I could become Wacko. I don't think that by being "nothing" and then becoming a Wacko is an improvement. But that's my take on the situation.
