my pet peeve ties into erics first pet peeve 
listed.."newbies who suddenly become active in 
the cel community"  My pet peeve is newbie bias..
Im gonna admit that I LIKE to be a newbie..I go 
new places just so I can be a newbie somewhere.
chat rooms where they only speak in romaji..pages 
on gold mining and bat guano.. I might even 
join "newbies annonymous" I have no fear in 
asking really stupid questions or rubbing elbows 
with the vets on cel issues...I love to learn and 
I learn best by doing..
I especially love being a newbie here.. where 
when I email a comment or a question I get taken 
seriously..and I get good  HELPFUL answers 
overall. I love to talk to people who have really 
good ideas for saving and storing my precious 
cels..and who share and support in my madness...
so just a public service announcement:
please remember our newbie friends..they are our 
cel vets of tomorrow...
 
Pale who is starting a "save the newbies!! 
collect the whole set" charity..all donations can 
be sent in an IPMO or a domestic MO
