oh please, RobBo, "newbs" is an affectionate way of welcoming newcomers. it makes them feel comfortable, especially if they don't know their way around. it really helped me when i joined, just the fact that there is an Intro forum showing us how to use the site, and now i know what i'm doing.
please don't have the audacity to assume that the word "newbs" was created especially for you, you are not THAT special!
and also, has anyone noticed that Big Dungbomb seems to have disappeared, and Rob-Bloody-Obnoxious seems to be coming over all polite!!
