    We can ban any words, but we can not ban fear.....and grid. I noticed many years ago on different trading forums that there are quite a number of people who take self depreciating niks like " help me", or " helpless " or "worthless"... It just a reflection of how people feel... They feel small, abandoned, powerless....
    Interestingly that on most trading shops (when there were shops like 20 years ago ) traders required that there will be no lights...dark...they wanted to be invisible, they wanted to disappear in the darkness...so the market will not notice them will not hurt them

    Newbie is traditionally a derogatory term targeted at newcomers (usenet, gaming, etc.), however can also be understood as a term like "freshman" (or woman), and be used constructively like that. The observed usage of the word can be used to classify the presently dominating culture.

    I'm an Oldbie, I guess.:(

    I wish that I was a Newbie, except that I know - what I know now.

    Then I'd be rich by now, hypothetically speaking, of course.
