"As a newbie, you will not understand everything here, you aren't supposed to. Just like in real life, you will not be liked by everyone here only here, people will not necessarily pretend to like you. If either of these statements bother you, consider not hanging around. Much like a child's fist day of school, you have to figure out where you fit (if you fit at all) and work it out. That is how you gain the respect of others here. Be smart, be witty and have a good take on things. Don't be a wimp, don't be a post-monkey and above all, don't bug Wayne and the Administrators every time your feelings get hurt. And finally, the Internet (and certainly not this board) is not a small room filled with your closest friends. For that reason, do not tell your life story unless you are thick-skinned enough to have it critiqued and possibly attacked."
If you understand and can live with all of the above - Welcome!"
