How likely is that to happen, though? The majority of Babblers are nice and would respond kindly to newcomers. Those who choose not to follow Dr. Bob's guidelines aren't here long, and hopefully wouldn't choose the newcomer board anyway. (Actually the worst of them could probably post on the newcomer board because by the time they weren't newcomers anymore they'd be blocked.) So the only people who could flame newcomers who aren't already allowed to post there by virtue of being newcomers themselves are people who have been posting here for several months. So how many of us who have been here long enough to not be newcomers ourselves do you think would hurt the newcomers?
