I have mixed feelings about this thread.

As a member who's been here less than two years, I fear that some of the things said in here may put off some of the other newer people......as if we aren't pulling our weight around here, or if we're the ones doing all the "whining". Frankly, I feel a little put off, because I've been around long enough to miss some of the folks who have drifted away (Coco, Moremi, Hamster etc.) and I don't want to feel that anything I personally have said or done helped drive them off. No offense, I just feel that there is a cliquishness among some of the members and the rest of us are merely tolerated.

OTOH, I realize that this is Trippin's thread and she can say anything she wants to.....this isn't about anyone else's feelings, opinions etc. And I like the new, fun threads as well. 'Nuff said, by me anyway.
