We all were beginners once. We don't laugh (in public) at people who
make elementary mistakes if they haven't gotten the chance to learn
about them. We laugh at people who make elementary mistakes after they
have been golfing for years.
And we laugh at people who are told to CHECK FOR EVERY SEMICOLON IF IT
CAN BE REMOVED, AND WHO THEN JUST LEAVE THEM IN!!!

I'm not completely against better criteria for determining who is a
beginner.
And I'm glad to know you will participate!
