nOObie
DRAFT 10/05/02 (revised 04/18/05)
There is a little nOObiness in each of us. But it is only life-threatening in a few. How to avoid succumbing to nOObyism? Read some FAQ's, particularly the Newcomer Tips. http://www.nyx.net/~dgreenw/newcomertips.html nOObies: o post comments/me-too's/wisecracks over/under full requote o nitpick o can't wait to take a thread off-topic o post to anything off topic o don't use, and can't seem to follow, links o avoid FAQ's and archives o start as advice-givers as soon as they find the newsgroup o become professional after reading a book, or a chapter, or taking a course. o figure on starting out with the Poilane or SF loaf, authentic pumpernickel, etc. o are frequently expert in culinary semantics, esp. french bakerspeak o frequently are fishing for a reply which they know is the correct one o have a bunch of real tangy starters in their fridge o are fugitives from chat rooms o by these activities, draw other nOObies to the NG, like flies o should not read my posts o (In Outlook Express: Message; Block Sender; Click!. Do it now!) Whew, that should narrow it down! (Most nOObies have Outlook Express.) Misc. occasional nOObie characteristics (may be of use in rating equivocal cases): o grow own starters o highest sourdough expectation is pancakes o fracture quoted lines and links (real messy margins) o use bakers' yeast to make what they think is sourdough o put/advise putting dairy products in sourdough cultures o attempt/advise making sourdough bread in bread machines o sometimes post rants about nOObie persecution o humidify their ovens with ice cubes o bake after a total rise time of less than 2 hours o are unaware of the relationship between time and temperature for breadmaking purposes o enjoy punching their dough, sometimes as many as three "punchdowns" o know exactly what is meant by "proof", "proofing", etc. o love to inspire long queues of advice givers by posting incredibly stOOpid questions o ignore replies, keep posting new incredibly stOOpid questions o want to sourdough everything -- challah, chocolate cake, cherry cobbler, etc. o believe that the more stuff you put in dough, the better bread you will get. o can maintain exact temperatures with a light bulb in a styrofoam box o say their wife and kids can't get enough of their bread, which is wonderful o complain about the FAQs -- e.g., "(they) are not up to date/full of mistakes/etc." o recommend bread-machine pre-mixed products for making sourdough o repost FAQs (and all kinds of documents which could be located with links) o reply to spammers, develop threads on spam posts o know a lot more about Internet etiquette than I do o cannot find their caps key Find latest draft at http://www.prettycolors.com/bread_culture/noobiness.txt |

The newsgroup is part of usenet. Whether or not you access it through a web site or a mailing list is another question altogether, but it remains a usenet newsgroup. And neither a newsgroup nor a site have time to spend. Nor can they be rude. Only people can be rude. Only people spend time. If you feel someone is being rude, address them directly. Upbraid them if it is needed. Or find a more pleasant place to hang out. Mike |

This post is a VERY good example of my point.
Discourtesy by a 'knowledgeable few' who fancy themselves the newsgroup police. Why? |

You are always free to contribute and change what you don't like.
Searching google groups history of what your posts are makes it very clear what is going on.

My note was in no way rude. It addressed the rudeness in your post, which was probably based on ignorance. By and large, people reap what they sow. What have you sown so far? Granted, Dick was a bit hard on you. However, you didn't help things after that. Mike |

I find it interesting that I'm asked to leave. Like high school bullies
shooing away a member of the 'out' group. Well, I'm not going to leave. If you don't like what I say, don't read my posts. I won't read your posts either. Are there other newsgroups about sourdough baking? Ephraim F. Moya http://moya.us/ |

"efmoya" > asked in message = ups.com... > Are there other newsgroups about sourdough baking? You might like http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Sourdough/ They are all very nice over there, and it is moderated, so there's little chance than anyone will be rude. |

I'd confused the attributions. Dick flamed dan w, not efmoya. Dick never, as far as I can tell, flamed efmoya. However, efmoya's first message here was, "What a CrOcK!@ Answer the damn question." Which really doesn't give him the moral high ground to criticize others. And, it is surprising he hasn't really been flamed yet. efmoya is continuing his winning ways in rec.food.baking - he posted the same inane message 7 times at about 3 minute intervals. So far no one has flamed him.... but I doubt he's winning friends and influencing people there either. Mike |

I take offense to this email everybody has to start somwhere and just
because we don't all hang out in front of computer monitors all day doesn't make somebody a "newby".

This "you are hurting my feelings" BS going around is highly manipulative, if you ask me. Maybe time to grow up for a change. Samartha |
I do other things than eat sleep and breath sourdough bread, which is
obviosly the only way that one can ever advance from noobieness, so a noobie I will remain for the rest of my days. Most posters here are tolerant and quite helpful to noobies. There are some posters on this newsgoup that are somewhat cold to noobies. There is a small percentage that are really offensive and delight in belittling noobies to no end, hence proving their place in the rec.food.sourdough heirarchy. Get used to them, ignore them, they are not going away, I believe they are musty old hermits with very small privates, and this is their favorite outlet to vent their hostility towards people that actually have a life... I hope I didnt offend anyone superior to me. hutchndi |
