I like him.

He's a newbie who knows that he doesn't know it all (none of us do), asks decent questions, writes using proper grammar, has a sense of humour and takes advice.

I wish all newbies were like him.

That is all.

    Good point. I was looking at post count, not duration. I will confess that I hadn't looked at the join date.
    He seems to be posting much more frequently now though.

    I've been thinking about re-instating the rule that anyone who mentions post counts gets reset to zero...

    You just mentioned the unmentionable :wink:
    None of the above should be taken seriously, and certainly not personally.
