We were all there once

Sometimes we just need to remind ourselves that we were newbies once and so learn to show patience when others show the same level of ignorance that we once did and we have now conveniently forgotten. I have been getting annoyed by real basic questions by newbies on forums, but I guess I must admit it: I used to asked them myself.

I was browsing an old LQ.org archive page and found this question I had posted in all my innocence. :P

  2. Oh... so therein lies the origins of the whole concept of literaryforums! It was an interesting thread! :)

  3. I noticed the hijack too. But by that time the thread was fairly done. ;)Sudipta, yes, that was about the time I was exploring the whole concept of online forums, being new to them.

  4. I think that for any LQ or other forum member, the earlier posts are always the most cringeworthy :)
