I think Shellie and Greg make good points (gosh, I'd hate to receive an e-mail saying f-off!).
One thing that concerns me is the post from someone in real pain, who might get a few or a lot of responses, and then hearing nothing at all. Like Me-But-Not-Me, who I am concerned about, and others.
I do think it is probably hard for some people to post when they are new, especially when the message is "Help, Cam" or to a particular person (I do this also occasionally, so I'm not blaming anyone) and I think it might send the message that we are oldsters (we are) who don't want newbies (but we do!).
Recently, there have been several posts that I could not respond to at all. And I don't quite have an approach to handling that, so far.
But, as far as new people, there seem to be several in this set of posts alone. And, some of the oldsters were actually newbies from the last archive or the one before. Have not really been here long, but have been very active.
Hmmmm, I think I'm rambling. I will go now.
