No No No a million times no, we are all equal on this forum cept SD who owns it, noobs, oldies etc is something I have no time for, We are all preppers at differing degrees of readiness and that is all. LS and a few others have not been here 5 minutes but their contributions have been massive. I fear that some things do erode the forum at time, excess humour and silliness, people asking questions first before looking to see if the answers are not already written, the paranoia syndrome, folks looking for threats instead of seeking cures etc. I for one do want our newer members to " waffle on" its how new blood helps expand our knowledge and skill base.
The only thing that honestly gets under my skin deeply is the never ending stream of reasons why people cannot or will not relocate to so place better suited to prepping, and the inevitable calls for bloody communes or communities when 99.99% of the membership wont even drive ten miles to mee their neighbours. I've finally learned to stop judging them, but equally I dont bother to try and help those who wont help themselves. Theres always at least one " I cannot move home at this time because my wifes, sisters, gardeners pet Labrador lost its collar"
Still at least with the music alone we dont have a bloody Playstation and PS3 section or some numpty trying to sell us branded T shirts
