Personally I really like new users with new (and old) questions. There
are so many reasons:
* It gives people a chance to demonstrate knowledge and for the
group to identify who has skills in particular areas
* It gives intermediate users a chance to feel good about their
knowledge by being able to answer questions
* It fills in gaps in everybody's knowledge
* It answers some questions that some people hadn't gotten around to
asking, or were too afraid to
* It gives those of us who can't contribute through coding, the
ability to contribute through supporting new users
It's all good.
We're glad to have you here Robert.
