Now I have a question. If you knew all the answers, before you asked the questions, why bother to post.
Answer, you never go to just newcomer, (I think), you just become a "member". Unless you want to go to newcomer" in which case there's a "site feedback and suggestions" forum where you can plead your case for a special category....[ ]...Here's a new question: at what point do I go from being a newcomer in training to just a newcomer?

Here, we disagree. I figure that it's much preferable to let them know what to expect right from the jump. But, you make an interesting point, (as does Henipatra) Perhaps we might change the intake designation from "new comer in training", to "noob", or something else similarly degrading. That way, we could afford ourselves the enjoyment of a hazing ceremony, which after all, has been the inviolable right of so many other organizations, since time immemorial. And to which I might add, they, (the noobs), so richly deserve.Awww, captain. Don't be so cranky
1) Especially to a newbie with all of 6 posts.
Don't you feel more secure in the knowledge that captaincranky is on patrol, protecting the dignity, honor and feelings of the indolent, incompetent, uninformed, and apathetic here at Techspot? :haha: :wave:2) And as quoted yourself, the post was addressed to Syde (who btw asked in the first place), it wasn't addressed to "us"

Now answer "B", which is my personal favorite:When you stop talking down to us.
The "you young whipper snapper" thing really doesn't fly. If fact, sometimes they don't always let me get away with it, and I've been here way, way longer than you. Plus I'm really old.
And "Fortran" stands for "formula translation", this is case you're going to give us a test on that also.
