> Beginners suffer most often from too much noise and not enough signal.

Beginners have to understand that the Squeak way is a way of variety; it 
is messy, it is full of strange things, some old, some broken, it's 
colorfoul and lively.

So by trying to help beginners by showing them something ordered and 
clean you actually deserve them, because you cultivate unfounded 
expectations.

Also, lots of different people with different views of Squeak are there. 
By stating what you know better how things should be, you seem to imply 
there is one clear way to go that everybody agrees on, and so here again 
you deserve beginners if you make them believe that.

Thank you for your interest in beginners, but I don't think they need a 
Savior.
