I also question validity. I think we may have a lot of that going on. I may have encountered it in Items For Sale a couple of times - reply and ask a question and it is never answered. And I notice other replies are not answered either. Many 1st time posters in Items For Sale - just using this for advertisement. Don't mean to change the subject of this thread - but maybe 1st time posters should not be permitted to list items for sale - only established members of the forum.

Some people kinda enjoy making fun of their elders...while others find us fun and interesting. Takes all kinds to make a world.

Some people are looking to push buttons and may not be so old. Some people are just mean hearted and LOVE to cause trouble.

I agree. The original owners did their best to screen new members. You weren't allowed to post an item for sale as your first post. You asked a question in the new members' forum and had a waiting period before you could respond. First time posts, like this, weren't allowed in the general discussion. Things have changed though.

Exactly!!!! Just a child looking for attention!!!!!

As I read this forum I see several posts from first time posters that could be viewed as inflamatory to some degree.

I love this forum and I think it is a font of fun and valid concerns and warm good things. BUT we who post have sort of responsibility to keep a watch for those who just want to ruin things, or are jealous of the fun we are having by living here or wanting to live here. I don't say it is a conspiracy, but it isn't nice.

When some good thing happens and some people see us all happy, some just can't stand it.

Be sceptical AND and open minded and kind....but keep an eye out for the trouble makers.

Looks like someone has gotten enough of an answer to their question and moved on.

This thread has strayed far from the original question...which may or may not have been a legitimate inquiry.

Since there were some factual replies to the question, we will consider the discussion satisfied and close the thread.
