Me: The last registration field says, "This three-letter word makes your skis glide faster." I know they want 'wax,' but it could be 'ice.'
Tony S: They just want to know you're not a robot.
Me: Or that you know something about skiing.
Tony S: Nah, you don't have to know anything about skiing.
Me: Really? On a ski forum??
Tony S: Sure, what if you're a total noob?
Well that's a good thing because, although I am a pretty good skate skier, I am the kind of alpine skier who might have once been misled by friends to start an icy, blue-square descent only to find herself so stranded and frustrated that she whipped a pole as far down the slope as she could possibly throw it, after which it presumably slid to the bottom, making her quite satisfied... and all the more stranded. THAT kind of alpine skier.
So I'm glad to know noobs are welcome too.
