To all concerned:
Mark C and GBK are the moderators of this wonderful BB.
IMHO, they are the only ones authorized to make "judgement" calls on any situation. I believe they are more than capable of handling any kind of situation dealing with the rules of the BB.
I sincerely hope that the "old timers" to this BB will give a hearty "welcome" to those who are new to this BB and have posted only a few times.
Nobody enjoys being judged on a public forum. I know I don't.
Kindness and friendliness, IMO, are essential for this BB to continue being great and can help future newbies to post for the first time.
I believe that anyone who doesn't say: IMO, IMHO, from my perspective, from my point of view or any other such language that directly indicates an opinion is to follow is actually making a judgement statement. Depending upon the personalities involved, I believe some people's feelings can get hurt.
Some time ago, I was "guilty" of bringing everyone's attention to the CL4 mouthpiece being sold on that auction site for a ridiculous price. No one found fault with me. Matter of fact, I believe it was John Gibson who actually thanked me for mentioning it because he bought one right away.
Let's not chase newcomers away. Rather, I suggest that we "old timers" go out of our way to make them feel comfortable, to make them feel welcomed.
IMHO, this is how this BB will continue to stay great.
Mark C and GBK, my thanks for doing a wonderful job with this BB.
