In points 1 and 11 you mention spelling and grammar repectively. You do not, however, mention punctuation at all, which is interesting as you have punctuation errors in both points 1 and 11.

do not torment the sleep deprived artist, he may be vicious when cornered,
in case of emergency, administer caffeine to the artist,
he will become docile after that,
and less likely to stab you in the eye with a mechanical pencil

i disagree with number 13, because at one time everyone was a newbie, and we were all excited at the prospect of number 3.  why then, are they not allowed to be excited and ask?  because every newbie does?  including those of us who were once new?  hell we can have an ongoing wishlist for fs3, but not answer a question about where a newbie can get it?  

I understand that it is a sore spot with most people here.  all i can say is...get over it.
