C'mon now fellas we were all new and excited once. Remember the trepidation you had when you pushed "Submit" on your first post. You didn't even know there was a search feature until someone made you feel stupid for not using it.
Let's remember that we have a tremendous asset here and alienating "newbies" will only tear down what has been built on the shoulders of allot of patient old timers such as Warren. I doubt seriously that he would have participated in this thread.
My humble opinion...............plus I've asked many of these same questions.

Is a Wiki a "common questions" type of forum?

[widgeon13]

Boredom

Newbie? I resemble that remark! Hey, I did a lot of reading here and found the search function and was still able to come up with a lame question right out of the starting blocks. You guys' version of flaming is straight out of a "Leave it to Beaver" episode that, once the newbie is duly berated in some very tame fashion, the question gets answered generally in three part harmony with at least one or two dissenting opinions.

Meanwhile, I'll be diligently thinking of my very next stupid question and I'll be sure to let you guys hear all about it.

From this newbie...no offense taken.

"We should have a pelican car badge"

I think that was my first stupid newbie thread. I was pumped and it did go some where? I know prototypes were made?

If you go back and read my original post, you will see that a main purpose here is to prioritize issues for the Pelican wiki. I do not recall smearing the IQ of people new to the bbs as a reason.

[Por_sha911]

Tech (has a tie for first place): "What oil/tires/trans fluid for my car?"

[Pkaaso]

How come my spare tire is flat?

If you have 23 odds and ends on a table, and 22 of them fall off.
What do you have left?
An odd or an end?
