Doug,

I think as far as the current "active posters" Im probably one of the old timers and I've seen the discussion board go through many changes over the years.

As Cathy said, most of the comments are in jest. Although there are a few personalities around here that can be somewhat abrasive, I still don't think they mean any harm. After all, variety is the spice of life - and yes it's quite obvious which personalities clash. You just have to get to know everyone and kind of decide for yourself what comments to chalk up to the person making them and which ones you'd care to give credence to.

But in any event, don't go away. Most everyone's bark is worse than their bite and they are a very informative bunch, albeit opinionated

Is it because I am newer to this site that

Are there actually some of you out there
that really care about spelling? Are there
actually some of you out there who care if
somebody has not read every single line in
every single topic and may ask a question
that has already been asked in a previous
discussion? Is it that annoying? Perhaps
I am simply the new kid in town trying to
understand the "cool crowd". Many of you
have a much greater knowledge of Gordon
Lightfoot than I do, and I enjoy reading
your comments,however there are times when it seems that this is not a GL forum at all.
If I'm wrong, tell me so, and I'll talk to
you later.
