The reason why I have problems with elitists is because of the fact that they show bad attitude to beginners but one thing they dont understand is they once were a beginner too and it took them time to get better at the things that they are good at. As funny as it might sound even soaking the substrate to raise humidity or providing drinking water for a sling, to add the right amount of water you put in the substrate even getting that right takes some time, even something as little as that takes time to get good at. These elitists act like NOTHING takes time to get good at and because that they give bad attitude to beginners those guys start to get afraid of asking questions as a result of their attitude.</p></blockquote><p></p>
