If your new to a dungeon.

[duvvvv]

Do what I do, and that is I go and read up on it as much as I can. It gives me a idea of how to run it. I'm sure most of you already do this.

I come from years of playing Everquest from 1999 days, and those dungeons were very hardcore. It was sure fun being a Monk and pulling using FD.

I understand your point, but don't expect people to "do what you do" before they enter dungeons. some people just like to wing it. it has something to do with the psychology of learning: some need to experience stuff first hand, others can work from a manual. some like to play their MMORPGs without walkthroughs, others need to know every mechanic before they dare enter character creation.

and I agree with the other replies, if you're new to the dungeon it would make a big difference when you inform the party that it's your first try. that's also how you'll know when to look for another party who'll be more open to fellow adventurers who are not afraid to face the unknown.
