Can you folks tell the difference between a real newbie (someone who hasnt been in the business long) and a 'newbie' that has just registered on a message board that starts asking questions and sharing info/advice?

It seems these days that a lot of the newer people registering actually do not appear to be 'newbie' webmasters at all but rather people who have been working in the business a while that have only just found the boards.

Can you actually tell the difference between the different types of 'newbies' that register on the boards, in terms of their skill sets and knowledge base?

Regards,

Lee
