Gee - if Boron (who has been lecturing, at length, on the flaws of Dom2) and Cohen (Boron's "expert") are considered "newbies" or "intermediate", then surely _I_ would be considered intermediate as well, and thus allowed to join a newbie game?
And no - I don't seriously want in; I just want to point out that the real newcomers and beginners are going to have 2 ringers (using powerful nations) in their midst. So they know who to team up against.
