Everyone is a noob but there is a right and wrong way to go about being a noob.
Goofus: Posts "Hey can I bolt on a supercharger to my car?
Gallant: Researches the web and numerous posts of GPF, asks an insightful question to a specific issue about top swapping his car.
Then you have forum tough guy noob, that will brag about knowing everything, insult some established members and a mod, then ask a complete noob question.
