didn't you know there are no newbies on this board? but there are no real big players either? everyone pretends to be above average, and if they can be shown to be small, they pretend to have additional business happening, which in turn brings them above average also. those just above average fake-guys are deserving of mockery, but will always find a way to try and manipulate those that do not try to deny their place on the webmaster ladder, nor care what others think of it.
i'd be proud to say i'm geniunely above average, but by no means grossing hundreds of thousands each month. nearing just under $10k net last month. doesn't qualify me as a big player, so i don't pretend to be. but at the same time, it isn't newbie range either. and the fact that there are people that make $10k in 6 hours doesn't bother me either. not like i'm going to try and usher them into a poker game.
i haven't taken a holiday in 3 years. my most expensive wear is a $120 seiko watch, i drive a '99 model car, use a 17 inch monitor, keep and old P266 in the bedroom, and stock up heavily on cheap cola. after all that, i'm far from humble. i know for a fact that i'm better than a whole lot of other people.
i could buy expensive champagne, designer clothes, plane tickets to wherever, and gold rolex watches. and even if i couldn't buy it, i could post on message boards about it. but that is all a bunch of 'lets try to impress others' shit.
anyway, so where are you on this fictional webmaster ladder?
and as you're so keen to point out that you're above average, maybe you'd care to post how much Net profit you make, per month? whether you earn more or less than me, i couldn't care less. so go nuts and impress the message board crowd. not like i'm expecting you to actually post anything, but it was good to ask.
