Default How Long In The Hobby??????

How long have you guys and gals been in the hobby??? As a newbie, I sometimes get discouraged by some of the posts I read.. Mostly because I'm clueless to what some of your guys and gals are talking about... So give us newbies some hope, and let us know how long or short you've been in the hobby... Salt and Fresh Water..........
