To share or not to share is a personal choice, not a demand
Hmmm ... hard to picture Einstein as a newbie in his field but even he started in grade 1 (at least I think he did) ... someone must have introduced him to a few things along the way
So is it a good idea to shut out inquisitive newcomers? Or gauge them on their abilities or past experiences? Do they have to submit IQ scores prior to being accepted? I think we're all here to gain an insight or two to help us in our quest, be it for love of the challenge or in hopes of monetary gain, or for whatever reason ...
There's a wealth of knowledge and experience on this board without a doubt. That alone doesn't make it unique, but what helps it stand out well above other BB sites is the fact that many here are willing to share ... so I would go as far to say that by being a member you already belong to a club comprised mostly of what Rebeckah calls *Advanced Humans* (hard to avoid labels sometimes ) ... whether they do it for love or other reasons.
It's all about choice ... if someone doesn't like this board and feels there's a better BB or way to achieve their goals, they should go there and good luck to them. However it's difficult to understand their motives (needs?) to come back and hint about superior achievements on better forums ... without giving real examples.
It may be a bit idealistic to say this but a lot of paranoia could be avoided by not subscribing to this "let's make our own exclusive camp" attitude. Wouldn't it be more usefull to spend our efforts crunching numbers rather than overanalyzing our opinions?
Long live the Forum and WINHunter ... if anyone knows of a better BB or free software pls let me know
