As a newbie, I think that's a great idea. Fortunately, I think I've largely avoided many of the issues that surround newbies (please correct me if I'm wrong but not too harshly ). Before I posted for the first time, I dug through a great deal of the topic section I thought would be of greatest interest to me and in so doing gained a sense of the board's rules of etiquette. However, I'm going to admit that I'm probably a bit different than the typical forum participator. I enjoy spending hours and hours reading and researching topics - if you could only see my notes and saved links.
Anyway, I do think that's a great idea not only for the newbies but for the more experienced as well. The more experienced tend to forget the "stupid" questions they may have asked when they were learning the ropes.
