Stop helping newbies, morons!

Okay, if I see one more of you shitheads offering helpful tips to newbies I am going to bitch slap you. Most of you don't view other webmasters as competition but they most definitely are competition.

Let's say you open up a restaurant. A couple of months after you are up and running, someone wants to open another similar restaurant across the street from you. This would-be restaurateur stops by one day for some tips. Now here's where things get good. In real life, you'd be evasive, vague, possibly downright rude with this person.

Since we're online and other webmasters aren't viewed as competition some of you are willing to share the knowledge and experience you have gained over the years to expedite and simplify this person's trek into adult webmasterhood.

Helping out newbies is like taking the new restaurant owner under your wing, showing him your expenses, income, distributor lists, recipes, and telling him which dishes your customers like the best. Would you do that in a brick & mortar business? I think not.

We're all vying for the same surfers attention. Helping another webmaster attain those surfers is downright stupid.
