I keep looking at this string of messages here, and I don't ever read any of them. Today, I just clicked on Shar's post, which had some of Willow's post in it, and I read a bit. But what I was going to say didn't change when I read the posts.
You sort of have that Old Timer's Board right here on PBA! Very few newbies ever read (or post) here because they're just not interested in this topic! So why don't you old-timers just put some really boring stuff in the subject line, so you'll know it's from each other, and voila! You've got your own board! (I am NOT being sarcastic, though I am sort of kidding.) Whoops. Except that I just now wedged my way in like a shim.
My point is really that you've been talking about it so long that I think it's the longest thread I've ever seen! So it seems you've already got a place. Maybe you can call your section "Old Timers Only" or "OTO," make it a different color with a little note that you must be a PB-er for one year to post there (through the good old honor system). Anyway, I agree with Shar; if you're gonna do it, do it. I don't think others would really be offended, unless it keeps you from speaking to us underlings. We would miss your wisdom (ancient though it is!).
