- I'm an experienced user who would like to see many of the things that I
- learned the hard way transmitted to the newusers. I have to confess
- that the existence of a separate newuser group would create a
- threshold of pain that I wouldn't bother to cross. Separation is not
- in the fraternalistic spirit of this community. Another vote for
- just one group. Also, I don't think that anyone is above learning
- new things from the newusers, because things are always changing and
- nobody can be everywhere at once (except maybe God).
