When I first started reading notary rotary a few months ago, I too felt that there was a lot of bashing going on.
BUT----------> Now after reading every post that hits this board over the last few months, I've realized why (and I agree with why) there may be some "rude" comments thrown around now and then.
1. EVERY NEWBIE comes on this board and asks the same question (maybe even a good question) that some other newbie posted two days before that, and two days before that, ad infinitum (sp). I too am getting tired of reading this stuff, so if a "veteran" gives the newbie a quick shot answer (rude or not). I would tend to think that most of the other veterans find this amusing. I admit it, I find it amusing.
2. IF EVERY NEWBIE would realize that there is a FREAKIN search button, it would save a lot of time and "newbie bashing." I am very confident that there is an answer already posted to every notary related question that could be asked.
3. If a newbie has a question, think before you ask the question. Don't ask "how should I advertise," because that is the type of question that is just asking for a bashing. Ask a SPECIFIC question, i.e. "Is it better to advertise via email or direct mail." This type of question you will get a better and more professional answer/opinion.
4. Everyone here was at one time a newbie. I for one did not know of message boards, or mentoring, or NNA or books or anything of the like. I got my commission, I read the laws, I read the laws, I read the laws, I read the laws, I read the laws (noticing a pattern?), I memorized the laws. I figured things out. I learned from MY mistakes. Then I got lucky and found an awesome website that I could discuss things with my fellow notary. Now, I can ask a notary question, post about why I hate UPS, or throw out a silly SURVERY every now and then.
I have to be prepared to get my own @SS reamed out every now and then... I'm a big Jersey_Boy, I can take it.
5. ANY FINALLY TO ALL NEWBIES: If you can't understand or agree with #'s 1-4, then don't go away Mad....... JUST GO AWAY! |
