If there was an advanced list he would probably be in it and very unlikely that he would also be in the "newbie" list to help which would have made my learning curve that much harder. Some other guys who are really helpful and advanced are Jason, Chris, Chris, David to name a few..take all of them out and put them in the advanced list...and the newbies, not-so-newbies etc will follow just coz we have no choice when we run into problems. If only newbies and average knowledge dudes are in the "not advance list" it wont work coz the blind leading the blind does not work.
