That reminds me, I really need to killfile a whole bunch of these
newbies...

Why would you do that?
Are they not worthy of your assistance?

I consider myself a relative newbie, having only returned to "serious" DIY
in the last 3-4 years.
It would be a serious loss to have the more experienced members
ignoring/blocking my posts!
I always express my gratitude to anyone who helps and try to return this
assistance where I can.
Is this not what the group's about?
