Given that the site has everything from people who have been here for quite a while, to those who have only rented, to those who have never lived here but want to...it makes for a nice cross-section.

Quite frankly, I had a pretty good idea of what TV was about within the first month, of the first time I rented back in 2009...and that opinion hasn't changed much in the over 5 years I've owned.

I just wish I hadn't waited so long to join the fun here on TOTV.

Given that we are all simply offering our 'opinion,' who is to say that someone who has lived here for 10 years should be given more weight than someone who rented and then bought...say within even the last 6 months?

I'm sure that there are people who have lived here 5 years, that have done less and taken in less of the 'experience'...than someone only renting during peak season.

Maybe we need a stat near our user name (verified by a notary and three witnesses of course ) of the total time spent in TV...so certain people can put the 'short-timers' on ignore?

I so agree with your post and absolutely liked everything until the last line. AND the first line. But in between, it warmed my heart.
