patronizing nonsense.
rigid? not hardly, I am asking everyone to be less rigid on what the noobies must to do. It should not be asked of them to bow down and scrape in order to gain admission into the great and sacred learning hall.
Nor is it nonsense, it is a perfectly valid and logical argument that only those in posession of the required knowledge are able to perform certain tasks. Plus, the only method to aquire said knowledge is through membership of some organization and is unavailable outside of this "club." Should I go into just how this membership is obtained?
Now that I have your attention.Just get over yourself and look at it from the viewpoint of someone trying to learn a very complicated and disjointed system with an immense amount of mostly barely useful and out-of-date documentation .
