Hi, <br /> <br />Ahh yes, the wise-guy. <br /> <br />I have to admit that does happen. Just the other day there was a post on here about "rail joiners" and if they should use plastic or metal rail joiners. Well, I bet there were a great many out there that had to hold their tongue in their cheeks for that question. Myself, I saw it as a legitimate question from "truly" a beginner, and instead of posting the smart-butt type of response, I took time to explain the differences of each, and when you would use the plastic joiners. <br /> <br />Though they would have learned sooner or later, I felt that my response to their question helped increase their learning time in the hobby. We should all take that idea to heart, when we make our responses. It makes me feel good to give back here, what a lot of guys have done for me over the years. Remember, we were ALL there once, and as for the "know-it-alls", sooner or later they will have to consent to the fact that there is someone else out there that ALWAYS knows more than they do. <br /> <br />As for posting and responding to questions...don't ever stop! That is all part of the learning process in this hobby. <br /> <br />-Wolv33 <br /> <br />
