"And on a note about it getting harder for people to join - it's not really..." Just wanted to reply to that paragraph, but didn't want to derail the thread with a post. I didn't mean anything too deep by that statement... it certainly wasn't intended as ridicule, so I'm sorry if it seemed like that. Personally it makes me weary because I've seen the same thing happen with a lot of things on this board that I won't bother you with, but after many years I've managed to accept this particular nuance. I'd like to throw out that having experience can be a boon, but at times its a hindrance. It's very easy to get caught up in the flow and stop thinking with a fresh mindset here. It'd be nice to place faith in newer members, since they're necessary for both activity and new ideas. Ending this silly little rant... I hope we can keep the Council fun and that it doesn't become all business since the goal of it all is quite the former. I think?
