Calm down Folks ... everyone here was a newbie at one time, and everyone here posted their first article link at one time, and even some of us lurked for a while before daring to post their very first linked article, but this is really unbecoming of the FReepers that I've known in the one year that I've been a member (yes, it is only one year for me (although I too lurked for a few months before joining :)), and I too got knocked around on my first 'proper' thread post (I changed the title of the article .. Mods nailed me on it)
C'mon, lets be reasonable here
I got zotted my first try. But i stuck around anyway, i didn't hold a grudge to the mod or any one commenting.
