> Having said that, for the old timers, be somewhat lenient if you think you are dealing with a noob and perhaps guide them a little toward a better course, or reward them a little for when they are delivering what you would like to see more of.

Four years from now, those people are going to be valuable - if they make it through the bear.

Amen.
