Here is the deal, in the fall of 2004 war was declared upon FR by the DU. They flooded us with infiltrators, and they are still flooding us. All of you are suspect. That doesn't mean that there aren't infiltrators who have been 'sleeping' for a long time. The are typified by not having done profile pages and they have very little, or no, posting history. If you're tarred by the same brush as them, sorry about that. All you can do is let each and everyone of your posts bespeak your character. I can't tell anyone what to do, but I can suggest that in light of this infiltration that newbies try to limit their inputs and opinions to positive statements. If not possible, keep the negativity from being controversial. What I mean by that is not to rant. Just a suggestion. I accept your apology. Please don't think of newbie as pejorative, more accurately it is descriptive.
"typified by not having done profile pages"
Just took care of that detail. It's not much, but it's something.
