I think that everyone who starts a programming question from "I am new to" is a moron.
Maybe I need to stop answering programming questions. I will only ask them, my preferred start is "Hi guys I have googled a lot but".
Any answer to this post that starts from "I am new to" will not be downvoted, because this is an answer and not a question.

Sorry, I am new to the Lounge. Can anyone please tell me how to reply to a post, especially with that "Joke" icon?
Thanks in advance. 
Whether I think I can, or think I can't, I am always bloody right!

"Sorry, I am new to" does not count. Sorry.

Harsh and unfair. Suppose I were to put "I am new to Haskell and while I have read a fair bit about the use of Monads in Haskell, I am unable to get the following nullity check working (I've tried the various online sources and have Googled for answers, but they all require a certain level of knowledge that I don't have right now - for instance, this link looked promising, but it left me behind when it told me that all I need to do was groop my glurblecruncheon). Given this small sample that illustrates the issue I'm having with this Monad, could you point me towards the reason that x is using a null value when this check indicates that it shouldn't".
Does that make me a moron, or does it illustrate that I have a clear knowledge of my limitations in this subject and that I have tried to find answers but now I'm stuck.

No! 'Always' is a term of time and by the nature of time you can not group all the 'always' together, where generalization IS grouping together by ignoring individuality...

Yeah! People who generalize are always so... wait a minute. 
I do tend to agree that an admission of ignorance followed by the I tried this or that method that I found on Google sets the level of your understanding. I know I have come across some awful answers that only left me with more questions because the assumption is that you should be be at a certain level of expertise to start with. This is sometimes the difficult part because you don't really know how much the person with question really knows. Their statement of ignorance can set the frame of how thorough your answer needs to be.
It was broke, so I fixed it.

Obviously. That's the whole point of that statement. It's like the rule; all rules have exceptions.

I am new too.

You obviously are new to English if you don't know the difference between the two; to and too.

I would agree with you but then we both would be wrong.

Use to as a preposition before a noun or as an infinitive before a verb.
Use too as a synonym for also or to indicate something being excessive before a verb.
Use two to spell out the number 2.
