I have to agree with, Carlos.

To some extent, in order to become a part of an online community, you DO need to learn the acronyms and attempt to conform to the culture of the community. That is not to say you give up your individuality.

No one here is striving to be a stuck up snob. But I can tell you that if that is what you already believe about our community, you are dead wrong. Trust me. There are many other cigar boards out there. Cop an attitude with established members - they would be all over you like white on rice.

Relax. Take a deep breath. And understand that while you may have been smoking before some were born, you can still learn much here. We all do. Every day.
