Of course not being a newbie you already knew to do that before posting, didn't you?

I just don't think most people give much credence to a suggestion by a "newbie."


Not true at all, in my experience. You suggestion will be judged on the merit of its content, not the number of posts that you have.

We all hold Ruud van Velsen in high regard, and he has only 221 posts making him a mere "member"

The only difference is that we're a little more forgiving of cross/mis-posting and other breaches of etiquette with newbies than we are with high posters who are expected to have been around the board long enough to know how to behave.
