In most cases, it just isn't so.
I believe that most of the "doubters" concerns posters with very few posts. I think it is very rude and uncordial-like for new members to come here and immediately complain.
I compare coming to a forum as the same thing as moving to a new neighborhood. I would like to know my neighbors and be friends before I started "ranking" down the whole neighborhood.

Now, of course, I am a new member here, but I am a member of several forums and have thousands of posts in the last 7 years. Most forums are the same. They will take new members with a grain of salt before they can "trust" what they say. It is the same in real life, too, don't cha think?
