And this is what I'm talking about Greg. I don't understand why a Newbie even joins if they are not going to actively get involved. A Newbie can read all there is to read without registering, so why register. This is also reflected in the Welcome Aboard Forum. We see that a Newbie registers and we welcome him or her into the group and I would venture to guess that only 1 out of 20 even acknowledges the welcome. Where are the manners to post a short "Thank You". The manners are the same place that most of todays manners are, they are non-existant. Without the Newbie's input, questions and information these Forums will not exist.

I am sending a plea out to the Newbies and older Forum members to start posting on a regular basis or at least a semi-regular basis. This reminds me of church. You can have a large number of members(most churches do) but if they do not take an active part and attend church regularly, how long will the church survive without support. A church cannot survive on the twice a year attendees, it must have the every Sunday attendees. These Forums cannot survive with the occasional once or twice a month posting, they must have regular posting by many members to survive. I'll get off my soapbox for now and hopefully hear from others on their view of this topic..
