Length of time posting is not indicitive of anything - and stupid to use as an indicator that someone has something worthy to say. I happen to have changed my id lately, but have been a Freeper since 98.
So what do you want from me? A cookie?
and your profile says that you have been a freeper since Feb 1998...
your point is well taken though - just because somebody is new doesn't mean they don't have anything good or valid to say.
BUT - there are a hell of a lot of trolls around too.
