Sorry to one and all that I've been somewhat absent for the last few weeks. We are in the process of moving and with work taking 10-12 hours a day, I haven't had much time.

Well, where do I start....I only asked the question to see if anybody had noticed that we have had an influx of new and probably much younger members in the last 4-6 months.

As for being an "older person"....its not the attitude but the experience that counts (in life I mean). There have been a few threads that appeared to me to be a bit juvenile, but we also need and must welcome younger members. It must be that I've seen so many before (not just on this site) that we seem to be posting just for postings sake.

OK there's no need to get involved in a thread if it's not to your liking. And we do have some cracking threads.

As for Accy specific things....I am all for more about Accy....I woz brung up there, and living so far away it's important for me not to loose contact with Accy and learn what's happening and how people are reacting to everyday life.

I think Simon hit it on the head with his short statement. We are all of those things and more....that's why we continue to grow in stature.

As most of us know...there has been some argy-bargy...and a few have gone off in a huff (no names). But I personally feel we have some good sensible discussions (I won't call them arguements), and have agreed to disagree on many occasions.

So going back to my original statement and open question, it seems that most are very happy on this site, not only with the threads, but with the attitudes of our fellow members. I certainly have no axe to grind, and I just wanted to know how the rest of you all thought regarding the direction we are going in.

Thank you for your replies..and I'll shut mi gob now!
