nail on the head Carlo and Luc

I'm not the one that talks allot but I see this to many times all jump in without having any type of info from the new guys getting into
the hobby and they just seem to vanish off the map.

I think with the questioner I put up would be a good thing for all the new guys this way we could help them out and guide them in a better direction from what he wants and not what we want.

again just my 2 cents
