If you are an expert , the repeating "beginner" questions do sometimes seem silly but to the beginners , they are important. Perhaps people need to be in the sport a long time to be able to ask truly new and interesting questions from the experts point fo view.
the site is for everyone. Beginners , intermediates , experts and those who feel they have ascended to godhood.
yes certainly going out and doing it is the best way to learn but asking questions on the internet is a new and very time saving way of learning.
No number of internet questions will give someone the feel for their eel on the end of the line , the feel and reflexes to bounce a jig down the canal without snagging bottom in a few seconds and distinguish a fish from all the other banging around , to know how much pressure is enough but not too much when landing a fish. However , some questions may get someone geared out initially without wasting money on pocket fisherman or self destructable cheap reels. It may get them to try something they have never heard of before. It may get them the oppurtunity to meet friendly experienced people who will help them. It may get them in contact with b+T operators who will give them a little special treatment as members of a site they won't get just walking in cold.
Anyway , the old salts may think some things are rediculous to ask , while the new people think the same thing is great. By the same account , the newby , who knows nobody in the sport may get sick and tired of hearing all the 'experts" prasing eachother and professing their eternal friendship in between the divorce like flame wars and arguing.
It takes all kinds to make a site what it is and in balance , both the new and the old in the sport have oppurtunites for useful applications of the resource.
