Seriously?! I'm sorry, but come on. This is for people to learn, and read anything that may interest them. If you think people should be limited, then that completely defeats the purpose of an open forum.

How I see it is we were all noobs at one time, so just because you arn't now you shouldn't complain.

Not to pile on since it has been stated before, if you don't want to read about cynao again then don't click on the thread.
Its like the people of complain about a TV show that is too graphic, if you don't like it change the channel but someone else probably does enjoy that show.

I am sure the first SW tank you setup you already knew EVERYTHING and never had to ask 1 single question huh?
i already had my tank set up before i joined, but when i had red slime issues read the archives. When i ad livestock questions about sandbed for my pistol shrimp i asked that. When my zoos started randomly dying, i searched as much as i could but didnt find an answer then posted and still didnt get one. I like people asking questions, but ones that the answer can be found not only in the archives, but a few threads down the list, are the ones that get to me.

Heck the "search" function has even changed since I've been on here. It's slightly more difficult to find what you are looking for. Just skip the threads you don't want to participate in. It's that simple.
i knew how to upload photos because theres a sticky. and i actually took the time to read the forum descriptions before i posted in them.
Maybe because i had my tank up and running before i joined that is giving me this attitude. I was never a noob to SWF after i joined this site, maybe my join date and post count may give you other opinions.
People coming on and saying "check stocklist" or "what size" or "what equipment" or "what next" are the threads i enjoy, and you all too.

I could not agree more. You could also consider us all noobs, since so little is known in this hobby compared to what could and will someday be known.

no, i just dont want this to get too out of hand. consider me defeated. I can accept what you have said, man up, and act like it never happened. I hope nobody will hold a grudge against me.

No grudges. We all say things that we wish we didn't or don't necessarily mean. I am officially closing this thread on a positive note. There is no reason to continue to pile on Nano. He got the idea we were all trying to get across and has accepted it.
