I get a PM today with these exact words...

"What ya got for a newb?"

Needless to say my response was less than great.

I have never had any interaction with this person on this board. I have not even posted once in the less than 2 threads he has started and I get a PM like that?

To me that comes across as total mooch. It offends me. When I Started on this board I read and read and tried to contribute to gain respect and a place on the forums. I never sent out PM's asking for smokes. If I did I was willing to offer up something in advance or make a trade out of it etc...

So basically that is me venting. I have done countless newbie samplers but they were always for people that at least tried to fit in for more than 2 days around here. Also their PM's showed sincere interest, offered a hello, stated what their purpose was and usually had some intereaction on the boards.

Ok stepping off my soap box.
