Thoughts about "stale" CM topics

[ATCS]

I too have been playing CM for several years, but just recently discovered the joy of playing against other players. As such, I have had to drastically revise my tactics and strategies. Few things that work against the AI will work against a real person. So what may seem old news and stale to many is still new and novel to me. I would hope that the "old-timers" would recognize this and be patient to develop us noobs, if for no other reason than to keep the community alive and healthy.
