Yeah. That is a type of trump card around here, although I never understood that argument.

I am not necessarily saying you are trying to claim some kind of conservative moral high ground based on sign up date, but lots of people do.

I agree that a poster's registration date doesn't make one poster more intelligent than another, and hate when it's used that way. This is a good case that supports that argument though since it relates to the site's operation over time.

Anyways, we're all entitled to our opinions about things. Jim, John and the Admin mods decide whether content is relevant to their site.

Not at all. My point was that we're all guests in Jim Robinson's living room, and none can claim seniority enough to tell him how to run his site.

Of course we all have opinions about how the site could be improved, and since the more years one has hung around FR, the more one picks up about how it runs, the traditions and so forth, the opinions of the old-timers tend to get more consideration. No surprise there. But I don't consider myself an old-timer, which was my point in mentioning the dates.

Hope you have a great day...
