2) Why can you possibly help if you yourself are a newbie? It's just
the blind leading the blind.
I've noticed that sometimes only a not-so-new-newbie can help another
newbie. A "pro" can sometimes not see the problem from the newbies
perspective, or relate even, for the reason he or she *is* a pro and
passed the obstacles years ago. Get my drift?
Absolute true, but very often newbie ever if find/detect the problem
give stupid/dangerous/senseless solution/idea. SO maybe there should be
some balance and cooperation :-)
Definitely! Cut them some slack, we've all been there at one point or
other. 8-)

It's good that a newbie wants to help other newbies. As for the quality of information, I've seen people who have several years of experience give advice that was true years ago but completely wrong now. A newbie basing his information on what he learned as working for him will at least be up to date.

Anne, that's true too, but usually information and experience of newbie ever it is contemporary is not enough for resolve mid or high complexity problems. The only advantage will be for some very general notes and suggestions. And ever in this case the advise can be wrong or useless (as example - filesystems sizing)
