Hey Sarettah,
You do make some pretty valuable points in there ... it is important for newbies to know where to go to get good info.
You also make some not-so-valuable points. I'm not sure when you last visited YNOT, but it is possibly the most newbie friendly board on the web. Sorry, let me rephrase that - most friendly webmaster resource on the net. There is a big difference between somewhere like GFY - a place where people hang out to tell each other to
and ynot, where we help webmasters build their sites and traffic on a daily basis.
Stereotyping in general is just not a good idea ... another lesson newbies should learn
