As far as I can see, no one is saying that they do not accept the Stanley part of the forum.

What is being said is that for some of us(that includes me) it holds no interest.
So participation is out of the question for me.
If I had some grasp of the game then I would feel ‘included’….but I don’t…..so the feeling is one of being excluded. You will tell me that this my problem, not a problem for the forum.

I have been a poster on here for almost 19 years, I have (I think) posted sensibly on lots of topics and I have enjoyed being able to participate.
So coming to the forum and being unable to participate in the threads that are current leaves me feeling ‘homeless’…but again, not your problem is it?

We (a few of us) try to post stuff that might get some responses, but these threads and posts sink without a trace very quickly.
It isn’t that we are not trying….we are, but it makes no difference.
Anyway it is what it is.

Nice post Marge, "Eloquent" as always.
