No harm in learning, you need wind your neck in!! You too had to start somewhere and I don't see anyone else making frequent contribution to thread!

It's true there's no harm in learning, but posting sub-optimal results (in such large numbers to boot) is hardly worthy of commendation. Contributions of that nature shouldn't be encouraged in my mind, lest you wish to breed and normalise a culture of sub-par work.
