Yup, it could be that i feel a grudge, definately something to consider.
It could also be that i repeatedly had to rub in your face that you where
completely off-topic.
Who knows ?
Oh wait, usenet knows, see for yourself.

Yeah, i never ever did anything, nor read any useful material, nor have any
experience.
Yep Tom, you found me out.
Oh wait, is this Tom acting all foolish, and me being correct ?
Nah, can't be.

Yup.
This is because, as i already wrote, you first should sort out what you will
do with stuff before you randomly conduct experiments.
This may look weird to you, but this is because you do not understand the

No problem with me :
I am a beginner in driving (i actually do not have a driving license)
I am a beginner in shooting (real) guns of any kind
I am a beginner in lying. (just seem to not be able to find anything
worthwhile enough to lie about, so hardly any training and lousy at it)
I am a beginner in tact. (i think it wastes time)
I am a beginner in showing patience for fools. (self evident in my
alt.magick postings)
I am a beginner in etc etc etc.
Sheesh, the challenge to write, oh noes...
Eediot.
Oh, just in case you are a real whiner :
I am a beginner in anything relating to the study and practise of magick,
and all related subjects, up to and including everything.
Now show me someone who is not a beginner on every subject imaginable, take
for comparison the universe.
Eediot.
Only scared/restricted people think there is a contest, or a measure of
progress, or well, beginners and people who are not beginning.......
