I teach our students to strive for great things... that IF you don't ASK you don't get... that it's BETTER to ask for forgiveness, THAN ask for permission...
...AND that Chief Delphi is a _welcoming_ an awesome resource for _emerging teenagers_ to get questions answered and a place to share their thoughts...
SO... please remember that YOU were once a NEWBIE too and maybe not be so insulting to a YOUNG TEEN with your swipes.

P.S. I've made sure Umer knows about Team Updates and knowing him he only needs to be shown once.

Michael brings up a great point. Tristan's post was insightful and illuminating. The rest of the one line insults towards Umer were... less than that...
