A noob

Rohit Sinha

Cough. I don't think she is trying to "butter you up to use your omnipotent abilities for her". ;P Yes, I'm sure noob or newbie would be insulting if applied to you.

I would agree with your assumption. The idiot is insulting you. :) The real question would be more as to why? :confused: Chris Meech "what makes CP different is the people and sense of community, things people will only discover if they join up and join in."

A little Google search turns up that noob is either a very popular handle that people use for online games or a several years old VB/Script Trojan. :-D Chris Meech "what makes CP different is the people and sense of community, things people will only discover if they join up and join in."

Ouch... :rolleyes: As for the why: I did recieve a few odd emails on the subject of the article. One wanted me to re-write it for them to make it do X, Y and Z. I politely refused and never heard back. Maybe they are threatening me with noobness so that I will do it for them? :rolleyes:

Paul Watson wrote: How do you know it is a she? LOL. Actually, I don't know. I was just taking a piss at article authors on the net I've come across who go, "When a user comes to your site, she is looking for blah blah blah". Paul Watson wrote: Depends what about. Yes, but I assume that it was in relation to the article and its content.

Maybe it's typo, and they meant boob, like fool. B and N are next to each other. Though, I supposed the end effect is functionally the same to you.

Hey, even my online dictionary is able to translate that word into German ... so you should know what it means, as English is your native language, or am I wrong with that? :-D
