lol, Dont worry about it

I think after reading some of the posts on this thread, I'll make sure that next time I'll be much more careful with the advice I give to newbs (no more mentors)...

The hardest thing for me is that I don't have a keyboard (thats right, I'm an Xbox360 user ) and I havnt gotten a USB keyboard yet. So trying to explain the basics to a newb right now would take me forever to type (and I dont think the newb would have the patience to wait so long, lol)...

Regardless of that, for now on I'll try to be as helpful as I possibly can to all newbies!
