talk about being hijacked by the usual mafia....
don't want to sound negative but the level of debate on here is variable - too often good topics go nowhere just because decent contributions get ignored if made by an unfamiliar voice
within just a fw posts it's just the same old same old banter about not much really
there's a place for that of course but...
As a newbie, I have to agree with the above. It's not that the 'mafia' don't make relevant and interesting contributions, it's more that they've read or said it all before and find the rehashing of the same old topics a bit tiresome. What they may be forgetting is that it's not old for us newer members, and that we may not want to search out previous threads, but rather reintroduce them. It's rather like attending a large gathering of likeminded people, there will be all these small groups in conversation, many of the subjects which you've heard discussed to death before - just move on to the next conversation. If none of them interest you enough, go home to the workshop and fix something on your 'to do' list.
