Yeah, I probably should have clarified that before hand. I notice people tend to be more... what's the word... Descriptive when I start off with that though so I usually wait until I have to correct someone so I don't feel like I'm having my hand held lol

I tend to not hand hold. some members will.

you can also say it is your first new and then almost everyone will drop it.
