The Time for Newbies to Post

is in the offseason.

July is the wrong time - wading through interesting TdF commentary is enough without having to filter out the newbie spam.

In the off-season, activity is low. A newbie question may actually be welcome.

Unfortunately, the newbie hordes only show up in July, like a suffocating swarm of brown locusts on RBR's verdant, green, dung-fertilized fields.

I can't speak for others, but I do it because it's fun.

Henri is the Supreme Ruler *de facto* of RBR.

Andy Albright was the first King of RBR. Now, eventually, it has come to the Kurgan/Henry phenomenon we are all witnessing.

You're welcome

Why would you bother reading the "newbie posts" if you despise them so much?
Why do you even respond to them?

Not at all. But he appears to have gotten under your skin.

BTW, his name is Papai, not Pappy.

Most people use his real name when they get pissed off or want to make fun.
I usually respect handles, although more so when they use their real name. I don't have a problem with fake user names since there are so many reasons one may use them. Someone else was using his real name as their handle, as also happened to Pap, Heather, Burns. Someone was even posting as someone else and then replying to it. There were so many lunatics in here in July that you had look twice to see who was posting. With Henry right in the thick of it, this makes for interesting sideshow.

Why thank you Heather! I included "dung-fertilized" just for you.

I agree with you Mike.
