As always Eric, your posts are as welcome as your presence! This is long overdue.
Am I saying experienced members should spoonfeed everyone? Not at all, but I don't believe the answer should always essentially be to figure shit out on their own by reading through all the stickies. While I agree to
some extent with that, I thought that's what an bodybuilding forum was all about? Breaking down difficult to follow aspects of bodybuilding for Joe Average? I think everyone sorta forgets from time to time that there's a "vast majority" out there that hasn't ever seen these forums and "truths", only read a few Flex magazines or heard second hand bullshit from the lifter to his/her left or right. In addition, to a lot of beginners in general, those stickies go against EVERYTHING they have learned from the magazines. I'm guessing many of them think it's bullshit since Coleman and Cutler don't follow the stickies.. And look how they turned out LOL. I think it's up to US to guide them through the learning process without indirectly saying, "Go find the answer elsewhere."
If I was a newbie to this forum, and asked what people view as simple questions, I would hope for something that answers my question(s) vs. feeling like everyone "ganging up on me" and telling me to basically figure it out on my own.
