General Education: Everyone read this!

I posted a "sticky" under General Airsoft Discussion about this, but because stickies are often overlooked, I'm making this thread to ensure you all see it. I'm not asking you to read the entire thing, but please at least skim through it. It's directed towards "newbies," but we all can benefit from it. Even veterans - because now veterans have a place to send newbies who ask the same questions over and over again. And don't feel ashamed if you've made some of the mistakes outlined in it - we all have! Just use the thread to learn from! Let me know your thoughts on it! (either on this thread or the mentioned thread).

Here it is:

I'm glad you reposted this. I've refered a few new guys to it.
