...NOW Boys...
Looks like I missed quite a bit while I was gone.
I'd luv to see people actually argue like this face to face. Who ever thought a simple little screen would provide such bully protection, or enhanccement. I guess teacher needs to monitor the playground a bit better.
In all honesty though, the cander put forth here is one of the reasons i like this forum so much more than others. Sometimes, being in customer service, its great to see some one told straight up how ignant they is be'n. 
I was trying to offer some friendly advice (that i learned here) to a kid in the climbing section the other day about bent gates on the bolt side, but he was quite atimate at how much more he liked the way it felt. I emphasized for him to at least check the climbing forums or the facts if he didn't want to hear what i was saying. He was too stoked about climbing his first 12a though to listen to this 10c climber... /eyeroll ... but only after forcing his beginner gf to buy shoes 2 sizes too small for her, and they were EVOLVES at that! Which actually ARE sized closer than most... anyway. If you see his splatter let him know i said hi. hahaha
EDIT:
btw JT, i luv the Screening Test for N00bs, ashamed to say where i'd fall though.  Are my red (white w/red racing stripes actually!) dogbones against me cause i had to buy them online and not in a "real store?" Sorry man, no choice in the matter there. ...must say though, I'm surprised in your helmet rule after such fuss about biners. I mean, so far in my climbing I've seen more falling rock and bumped heads than any twisted, mis-located, hung up, 4% chance of happening biner out of place. But I am a noob, and I say that knowing this handicap of mine.
