I agree Bernadette, of course not all 'newbies' are like that....and as for your question, I can't really answer that either. I can tell you that when i was a 'newbie' I contributed to the threads that interested me and where i had an opinion.....I certainly didn't use bad language or insult members of the forum......I read back through many of the posts before I began posting much...purely to get a feel for the place.
I didn't bad mouth the site either......there is a lot of work that goes into the running of a site like this and I value the effort put into it.

I don't think you can generalise about newbies.....or anything else for that matter, although we all do invariably do it at some point or another.
