I wouldn't consider what you're doing to be spoon feeding. We all throw that term around and use it loosely, but the way I have always seen it, is that we can usually tell who is sincerely making an effort to learn how to play the game, and who is just being lazy looking for a handout without putting in the effort.
I like this guy Inkmylife, and I am glad to see us helping him out some. He is obviously new to this aspect of the game, but he also seems to be genuinely appreciative and sincerely trying to learn how to help himself.
We all start somewhere. We have a chance to help teach him how to acclimate himself, and like I said earlier, he has even already contributed by shining a light on a source that sold bunk gear.
BTW, Ink, these two dudes who are talking Cali with you (
@wedorecover and
@TorroXL ) are two GREAT dudes to listen to. Both great guys with a lot of experience and street smarts!
