I'm still rather new here. And when I joined I did indeed expect a Facebook/twitter kind of mix. (Luckily even my action on those are not how the normal people use it so go me). But quite soon I realized that this wasn't the fact. So I decided to do some research into the rabbit hole.
After a while I thought I knew hot it worked... I thought I knew...
Until I joined the chat and people starting to point out "Newbie go do research".
To what I full confidence obviously would say "I did my research man! I know my stuff"
That would be countered with "Boy.... you know nothing.... trust me... do some more research"
The amount of layers this community has is incredible... Extremely complex and even more interesting
People engaging in chat early on here do not know how lucky they are :)
I was in the woods for 6 months or more...
The layers are brilliant fun to play with.
Reminds me of the proverb: A blind man sat behind a pile of stones and thought nobody could see him.
Extremely lucky. I learned a lot from chat (from being told to go research, links to certain posts, or just simple quick answers if the veterans were in a good mood)
Don't know how long it would have taken me if there would have been no chat... I probably wouldn't be doing half as well as I am doing now.
They most certainly are, and still learning more every day. Loving this platform so far.
