When I first came to PG, I didn't know the difference between a forum and a thread. In fact the first message I posted was by creating a new thread (which was eventually locked and I was directed to the right place).
So I think when a new guy joins, he should be explained the meaning of all the PG lingo first alongwith a list of Do's and Dont's. This information is there in some thread, but I read it after having already found out the hard way
The thread that I created first was still there for quite a few days. I really don't see the point in locking a thread instead of just deleting it like
ketanm suggested.
But there might be some reason, remember I'm still a n00bie :wink:
cheers
