Registered members are not the least bit frightening ... nor intimidating. Some are crusty and grumpy; some are opinionated and predictable; some are pleasant and helpful; some are short
If, on reading through the threads, some decide not to jump in and make their mark ... well, that's their choice. I don't think that those on this forum should change in order to accomodate potential members. The dog wags the tail, not the other way around.
