...the internet is a bastion of the quick and the disposable. You try a suggestion and if it doesn't work, forget about it.

This is not necessarily so. Some people make it that way, on purpose or accidentally, by their eagerness to hit the send button and Be Present.

I follow this board since 1995 or so (started with the Klarinet Mailing List) and learned a lot from it. Sometimes just some factoid like 'there is a new model out' may interest me, but information on that level can be found anywhere; we don't need a Clarinet BB for that. The most valuable threads for me are those inspiring me to think about playing clarinet and making music. Mind you, not answering my questions but inspiring me to think and work on it. The real value of this board lies in the threads in which contributors inspire each other to use their own thinking power and creativity.

I would think many folks who fade in and out here are younger and are amongst those just looking for ideas.

This strikes me as generalizing and not fair to 'younger' people (whoever that may be).
