i agree. i was thinking the same thing. i still consider myself a newbie. aren't i? i haven't been around long. not that i'm saying that newbies don't deserve a place to hang out and find comfort. but, i'd like to be able to jump in and help them feel welcomed, you know? have a chance to get to know them and let them get to know me, as a transition phase.... hope i'm making myself clear. just a way to jump in and say 'i know what you are feeling. hi, i'm karen. nice to meet you.' type thing. so they don't feel confined to the newbie board. i wouldn't want people to feel they must stay in one place because they are new, and i don't want to feel i can't go someone because i'm not considered new. and that's not really my point either. my point is, even if i have one, that i'm afraid that people are going to feel they aren't welcomed, and that i'm not able to welcome people either.
and besdies, when did this newbie boards start? and how the tofu did i miss it? where the tofu was i? why the tofu was i not informed? i surely wasn't sleeping, but have i been so out of it i somehow missed it? i'm tofu confused. i came here one day and saw it. is there a FAQ about what a newbie is? and if thre is a newbie, does that mean there is an oldie? and an inbetweenie? and what the tofu an i, since we are now handing out labels? TOFU! i'm going back to my studies. but, i always try to make it a point to welcome newbies. perhaps i'm not doing a very good job. i'll be better. maybe i can be the official newbie greeter? yes, yes that's it.. jyl, we can work together, like at walmart and shake hands... want to? we'd make a fine team i think....
