    This is kind of a loaded question, it's like asking "how do you feel about people?" There are many different types of people, and subsequently many different types of n00bs. For the most part I truly appreciate the new members, and I would much rather they come here and ask a question, even if it's a question that's been asked a thousand times, than for them to not ask that question and end up hurting themselves. On the other hand, we seem to get our share of members who post:
    "I'm 18, 6'2", 150lbs, my diet is perfect, and a guy I know recommended a dbol/deca cycle, what do you think? Will this make me huge?"
    then when we try to steer him in the right direction, he argues how the guy who advised him is massive and knows more than all of us. It makes me wonder why he even posted the question.
    Notwithstanding that, those members are just a small cross section of the populous, and they will always come as part of the new member brigade. My opinion is that we should do our best to help them all, and if some choose not to take our advice, at least we tried.

    Thats the best way to answer this question...

    I do wish they would actually look for answers before asking, but in any case, its a chance to help someone not make a horrible mistake...
