Ditto. Having extra seats at the adults' table was the best thing ever.

Anyway, don't we have a "Novices and Newcomers" forum for those sorts of things?

Yes, and having been a teacher, never patronise a youngster by sending them off to do something 'suitable for their age'. Because you can bet it won't be. The same will go for someone who doesn't feel like they know all that much.

Links to other threads is in some cases possibly that someone is being idle and either cannot or just cannot be bothered to re-type all the info they or someone else posted before. I've done it many a time. Or it could just be them being helpful. But I think the problem is some people feel afraid of posting which is very different. Esty was always very encouraging in the CbC threads and I remember giving new people a nod there if they had made the effort to get involved because I remembered feeling left out myself.
