If you found my post too naive or elementary for you, there are two options... 1. Help out in a professional manner. -or- 2. Ignore, and scroll past.

Instead you spent more energy being obnoxious rather than simply addressing the post -- pathetic. I guess when you are too entrenched in what you do for a living, you lose the ability to relate to mankind.

Just remember tough guy, just because you can act like you have an IQ of 150, or that you're 6'5" and 250, from behind the anonymity of a keyboard, doesn't mean that even you weren't a rookie at your skill set once and what may be obvious to you isn't necessarily so to the next person.
