Could someone answer THAT question? Light Mage pretty much asked the exact question I was trying to get across.

Do the mods only support old or veteran posters? Are new posters not allowed to interrupt the tranquility of old topics simply because they were before their time? New members should get to share their opinion on any topic, new or old, so long as it is somewhat original and personal and adds something of substance to the topic.
