Good points gentlemen. I have not upgraded since getting my new screenname. Although I am not a newbie (I have been a BF member since '99), I find myself asking questions here because I have been out of the Busse loop for a while. It is very telling about the quality of a group of people by how they deal with newbies questions, so I compliment the members of Busse Forums for having this patience and understand!

Sincerely
Luke

We all thank you for the compliment Luke!
Busse can get seem like a lot to soak up. We should all help anyone new with any question. That will make them want to stay, and one day they will be answering the newbie's questions.

I like the questions. It shows a certain openness and humility. I never liked asking anyone anything. I was afraid to seem ignorant and new even though I am. Over the years I have come to believe that asking for help is not a shameful thing. I don't have a GPS thingie and, to my wife's dismay, I will not ask for directions. Intellectually I know that is just nuts SO I say ask away.
Ask and ye shall receive. Someone will know the answer.

Sorry about the dumb questions.I just figured this would be the place to ask something Im not sure about.I should probably upgrade my account. Ill hold off any more questions so as not to would offend anyone.Sorry.

Please don't, young fellow.

Ask all you want.

We just get grumpy some times ... usually when we haven't had our INFI fix for a few days.

Anyone should feel free to ask any question they see fit as long as it's appropriate (or close) and pertains to the rules set forth by the mods. I say fire away. But it's up to you to figure out whether or not we're just making this crap up. The pig sty can get REALLY DEEP with doo-doo.

I concur completely OP. If you can't ask questions (which aren't stupid if you don't know the answer and have no other way of obtaining one) on the forum, what's the point of having it? Pretty pics of expensive pieces of steel that never get used?
