deep thoughts: When do you stop being a newbie?OT(slightly)

[David Love]

I actually find the term "newbie" useless and slightly offensive and would
prefer people drop it as a classification.  It is too often used in a
pejorative way.  We all have different levels of experience in different
areas and each of us can be considered relatively inexperienced in some
area(s).   So what's the purpose.  Just ask questions, as we all do, when
encountering something that needs further explanation.  Avoid
classifications and status defining terms and consider the trade as one
continuous learning process.
