I also think the ‘mentor’ idea is an excellent one.
Had I had the services of the appropriate ‘mentor’ I might have avoided falling under the nefarious influences of such residents, and former residents, as MapoSquid, Comrade Stalin, Fred Smith, Tigerman(a moderating factor to be sure) and not trod unawares down the road to right-wing, pro-military, anti-fascist, anti-chomskyite, pro-USA dialogue that has become my lot in life.

I’m also a newbie who appreciated getting a pm welcome after my first post–didn’t care so much for the smart-ass wiki when I couldn’t navigate my way around a few things. I pm’ed Maoman and he generously cleared up my troubles, but I nearly threw in the towel instead bothering him.
So, yeah, thumbs way up… sounds like a very good idea.
