I agree with Neferchoirwen - I myself am a hopefully-matured newbie. In April, when I joined, I was looking for some fun discussion during a boring study hall. Instead I found a community of fascinating and smart individuals. I have been happy to be a part of that community.
So all of you who have been here since 2000, wow. You're lucky to have had so much time. I suggested closing membership not so much to make this a "private tree house", but to make it a safe environment for all of those who feel threatened by the newcomers.
But that would be denying the newbies a wonderful experience
