My point is that for the most part, beginners aren't told that they may have to search, long, hard and steady, to get help, just that when they join a club, the sales pitch is that there will always be someone there eager to teach them. It is seldom, if ever explained before hand what has been posted here. If the LHS owner had on his counter what is written here of how difficult that it COULD be to get help, chances are he would lose a lot of sales.

Sort of a sticky situation for the shop owner.

Take care,
