It really has nothing to do with the subject, I shouldn't have even made reference to it.

But in all reality, yeah i like you. I don't think of you as a n00b. What's the line between n00b and veteran? For me it's not the number of posts, or time registered. For me it's when I've learned enough about you to have an idea of just who you are.

Once you've become a person in my mind, I respect you. It's hard to destroy that respect. I respect you here, now, even though you disagree with me. Same goes for my discussion with Mossy in the other thread. But my initial reaction to an entity which is, thus far, without any identity, isn't one of welcome. I'm very antisocial and I don't want company. I especially don't want someone thinking they're my friend from the get-go. You, rostig, as well as Mossy have earned my respect. And you'd have found that out soon enough without me telling you in the weeks to come as we interacted more.
