As a newbie to this forum I am interested in other's opinions and found some of those opinions very helpful. My wife claims I am addicted to this forum.

I have a concern directed at all the older members. Be careful in your arguements with each other as future members are watching. As with all forums, this one requires new blood to keep it alive. Without new blood you/we will have the same members with the same thoughts posting the same threads. New and potential members will see the fighting and simply move on. The forum will become stagnant. I'm not meaning to flame anyone. I just don't want to see the discussion die. As a rule, things ignored usually fade away. Responses to bad threads tend to create more bad threads.

Just my opinion.
