great post FT - deeply appreciated
i did lurk around for a couple of weeks getting to know my way round the forum(& using the SEARCH function) and was delighted to have found the board.
Must come clean here, my 1st post was on a thread were i hoped i was giving some good feedback on a question asked.
I certainly wasn't trying to be rude by not posting an intro. in the Newbie section, i'd read the sticky but some of the advice must have got lost amongst all the other interesting things i was reading.
I take your point about helping to find out whether a newbie is serious or a troll but really think you're not giving the BM's credit - the board seems to be populated with fairly intelligent guys most of whom show pretty good street smarts. Do we really need such protection from potential troublemakers? - i think not, it doesn't take BM's long to spot a badun.
The quality vs quantity debate will continue and reminds me of the Communist who was waiting to accumulate enough money to become a Capitalist (same same junior members who's views might change with time/experience/post count)
I hope i can see both sides of the argument
