With the treatment of newbies I've seen here, I'm not surprised you see so few of them ever again, although I appreciate the first coherent response.

I only posted because the rules of this thread SPECIFICALLY said that you accept newbies, and that being an asshat was prohibited. So I reach out to make an offer, and I'm shot down and then insulted.

Yes, I'm new, but as a newbie, I've read and posted on quite a few forums over the past little while, including Puff, CA, CG, and others, and this is the first time I've ever been treated like this. I've often seen on other, non-cigar forums how older users can create their own little fiefdoms to lord over, but this is the first time I've experienced it first hand on a Cigar-related message board.

This can be the final post on the subject, unless you won't feel satisfied without having the last word. I don't want to ruin your fun.
