It's "just" one of millions of web forums afterall. So far I haven't seen the "my car goes faster than yours" thing delivered in anything other than a fun lighthearted way...?
We aren't just here for the newbies either, sure we can and indeed want to help where possible but we shouldn't stifle our perosnalities to be seen to be doing the right thing, like self ritious role models, otherwise this forum would be mighty booooooring IMO.
Nothing worse than a forum that feels compeled to only say "Terrific image" or "Nice work" we are all individuals and should, within limits, be free to express ourselves.....silly pointless challenges can be one of these expressions 
Just my thoughts

I'm pretty much have the same thought as big Mike. It was just a little harmless challenge for the pure fun of it just to get the adrenalin pumped up
. Its good to show and demostrate what can be done with both DSLR's and CCD's and its good to compare results after to see the differences. This also motivates us to do even more and better work to share for the community. It isn't anything like my car goes faster than yours.
