one the one hand, FR is very insular, most folks have been here 20 yrs or so, and even I have been attacked based on lack of name recognition. I try hard to just ignore this. I almost never even look at signup dates intentionally (one does see them looking at In Forum posts). once you reject new members just because they are new, or have only been here 5 years, etc., you are already lost and becoming irrelevant. most of us are either middle aged or old, and our own echo chamber isn’t going to do anyone any favors.

it is interesting.
