I concur. I hate that there are Newbs on the board who are only in their first month TTC and already have almost 200 posts. Annoying. You've barely even begun and you post 15 times a day. What could you possibly have to say at this point that I would care about.
Maybe I'm just a hater, but whatever happen to lurking. I've been TTC for 10 months, lurked for the first half of that, and I'm just barely at 200. Clearly, I'm just not cool enough.
ETA: Correction, I'm only at 170... I'm definitely not cool enough.

so, when the newbs [complain] about people being mean you tell them they can leave if they don't like it. but when you [complain] because you hate the newbs... you get to stay and [complain] because you've got seniority (or something)?
i've lurked here for almost two years, and have just recently actually started TTC. over the last month or so i've found this board informative, helpful, and sure, a little snarky. but ultimately it's been friendly. today? it's fvckin' high school around here. what's going on?
