But I think this is also a testament to how much we stick together in this community, even the "relative" newcomers, lik groovepuppy, shceky, and HbHaus. We all kinda came together in our indignation. It's really NOT about postcount, it's really about what you contribute and whether or not you come in regularly...I mean, you could only post 2-3 times a day, but regularly, and are making an effort to let us get to know you, and you get to know us, then you're gonna "feel" like family relatively quickly, regardless of your post count....and we're going to feel the same about.
And it's not even that you answer a lot of brewing questions either..I like to think it's about connecting with each other...(Look at laughing gnome for instance, I can't recall the last time he talked about brewing...but who cares...His personality and twisted way of seeing things, including this place, is just as important.)
And I don't know if you haven't noticed, but some of us here are protective of our community and the people who go about making it one.
