Note that I am not responding to the contents of any of these posts, but
rather to the subject line.

Because when I first read it was to think, "But, but, but....the best
thing to do when you are a newbie is to act like one."

And the way to act like a newbie is to go around asking questions...of
anybody, and to not worry about whether those people will think they are
dumb questions from a newbie.

Personally, though I must confess to being guilty of it (and I need to
hit myself over the head with a two0by-four, or somebody needs to do it
for me if I am too ingnorant to recognize that that is what I am doing),
I am of the opinion that what I need to be careful of is forgetting to
act like a newbie.  Because the instant I stop acting like a newbie who
is willing to go around asking what seem like dumb questions of people
who know more than me, is the instant I stop learning.

It is MY goal to be a newbie (ie a learner) forever.
