Dexter, when there is an influx of new posters on such a large scale (and the newcomers know each other), it is natural for the previous posters to feel threatened, to feel that the newcomers are encroaching upon their territory.
It should be seen in that light. Give it some time and it will pass. I think the complaint about deviating from the subject of the thread (JLM posted one post outside the subject and I posted a reply, that was the extent of it) should be seen in that light. Two posts outside the subject of the thread and you would think world war III had started.
That generated several posts from the old timers and two new threads. People need to lighten up. If somebody deviates from the subject of the thread, it is not the end of the world, nor is it world war III.
