and politicians, scholars, scientists, etc. It seems to be used here is a very derogatory way. Is that a widely felt view here now? That those of us who were born before 1961 need not contribute in any way unless is in the current, brash, Joe Ragenesque style.
How about financial support of the site? Is that still welcome here, or no? Because I've been donating here for over 20 years.
