haven't been in this group long, but I share common (although I suspect longer) life experiences with most of its members.

I understand your frustration when non-members come in here, drop the same old questions and take off. On the other hand, if it were not for the people in this group, I for one, would never had the opportunity to talk about what I think are some real important issues. Now I admit I have said some stupid s*** during the course of that and been righteously called on it (and learned from it) but I think I also bring a perspective that is dying out.

As for the last part, I don't come in here for stupid people. I come in here because there are people in here who speak to me and can hear me.
