Wondering if newbie means new to the hobby? Or new as in no references? I used to hobby years ago and want to get back into it... So I'm older now but still familiar with the etiquette and have "been in the room" before... but I have no contemporary references. When it says "no newbies", what should I expect?
A newbie could mean new to the hobby, new to the board, etc.
If you've been in and out of the hobby for years, then I would suggest calling a known lady who has a reputation for quality screening. I know girls who ask for a picture of the guy and that's their way of screening. Yikes.
