Hi Geeks, I was just having a little look through the last few days threads and it just made me think..... yes I do this on occasion. LOL
Anyway when I first joined I used to really take comments from Master or Uber Geeks on board as I assumed that they must be very experienced etc etc.
Now there seems to be a lot of Master and Uber Geeks who have not been members for a long time at all of which some are still in training with no or hardly any work experience within their chosen industries, posting all day long increasing their " Geekness":smack:
I love the fact that we are such a varied bunch and that we all have such diverse opinions and experiences which are an invaluable resource.
I just want to remind people to have a look at the reputation of the Geek as well, when getting advice from Geeks. A good rep usually means that the Geek offering adice has established experience and offers good advice. When I joined I did not realise that there was rep button so did not look for it.
I am defenitley not saying that advice from new Geeks is not worth having, There are many fantastic professionals out there that don't have the time to come on here often and are still low on the Geek level but know more than a lot of us put together, but I would hope that their rep would show that.
What do you think, am I being elitist or offering sensible advice here?
Awaiting your replies with a pencil up my nose saying wibble!
Tell me straight, I can take it :Scared:
