Ya ain't gonna ingratiate yourself to the forum actin' like THAT
[QUOTE=Shawn Brodie]....Otherwise I can roll with the punches and deliver them as well. You make the call.[/QUOTE]
Yeah, but why would you [U]want[/U] to have a dust-up with folks here? True, this is a forum for exchanging info about the hobby. But, when you have only four reports (or posts, perhaps) to your credit, and come out like a typical newbie asking for immediate intel on AMPs in the area --- which makes it look like you didn't RTFF --- you got the appropriate replies. An offer to [B][U]trade[/U][/B] intel, instead of being a lazyass, might have gotten better responses.
Now, if you wanna "[I]roll with the punches and deliver them[/I]" instead of earning your stripes and paying your dues (to the satisfaction of folks on [U]this[/U] forum), then have at it. The folks here have gotten along just fine, thank you, before you came along. You *may* have a couple Latina joints in your little black book, but I'm guessing that others here know about those places, as well. So, who's got more to gain and who's got more to lose by being a cocky, smartass newbie?
Just a friendly bit of advise, for whatever it's worth to you: Can the 'tude and behave. Otherwise, you'll find that folks will put you on their Ignore List, and any others will just ignore you anyway.
[B][I]Have fun at the Forum[/I]

Newbies Acting Like Newbies
One of the reasons newbies rouse suspicion amongst those of us who have been here for a day or two is that you are asking for information that most of us have gathered by the expenditure of great amounts of both money and time. Knowledge is our currency here. We trade with those who have earned our trust. And as newbies, you are NOT yet trusted members of the board.
If you are not lazy, you will find all sorts of valuable information here. All you have to do is RTFF. It has been our experience that those who start demanding specifics when they have NO real posting history are either truly lazy, or they are our friends from LEO. In either case, they don't merit much help from us.
If you want to be welcomed and to have us freely share our information with you the best way is to prove yourself by creating a posting history. Believe me, no matter what you post, somebody out here has already been there, done that. If your posts are phony, or meritless, we'll know. On the other hand, if your posts are accurate, and if they provide worthwhile information, in no time at all you will be fully welcomed and you'll find that most of us will willingly share data.
And, finally, if you come in here and pound on your chest and call people names, and try to impress us all with what a hard ass you are, you will only be half successful. Once you convince us that you're a total ass why should we have any interest in helping you get laid?
Consider yourselves fortunate that our esteemed Don Trash's flamethrower has been retired. Were it still in action you would now be toast!
