DU began.

I think you're correct, Aerows, it is still a bad idea, no matter what posters with low post counts may express to the contrary.

There is definitely a post count bias. I have it, too. But I'm also a snob about msanthrope Sep 2013 #1
I'm sure there are good reasons for some bias Pretzel_Warrior Sep 2013 #2
