The situation you mention is common...we all do it when we first join. That said, it is also a completely fruitless proposition. If you are picking up the sport of basketball, you dont walk out onto the court with Lebron James....he isnt going to be impressed by your skills. Instead, you start with those who are a little better than you, those who will make you better while also having an interest. Over time, as your skills improve, you might surpass them and be ready for the next step.

If someone is new, it is best to try and get friendly with other Red Fish, Minnows, and even Dolphins. The Whales and the Orcas, let them find you. Posting quality content will get a vote from them here or there as they blow through.
