No one, I mean no one was better with helping newbies than Pete the Fly. He had this gift.

May be hard to believe but he at one time was the one youd wanted to talk to when starting out simply becasue he was so patient down to earth and willing to help. Not sure if there is in this day in age anyone like him anymore.

Most helpful person around when it came to getting me started.
In fact he was the one that got me started some 4 years ago.

I can understand why he doesnt like newbies anymore though.
Ive probably helped dozens of people start out, guide them help them, teach them. Takes a lot of time. It hasnt ever paid off.

In fact some of the people who I helped start out are much more successful then me bigger, better, larger now. And they all but give me a silent fuck off now days when I even try to talk to them.
Ever see that shitty movie Rocky 5 where he helps the egotistical Tommy Gun teaches em and in the end Tommy turns on him when he gets better?

Strange but fucking kid webmasters are the same way.

It doesnt pay off. Waste of time to help newbies. They never come back 3-4 years later to thank ya, in fact they go out of thier way to do just the opposite
