Anyone want another experts opinion?
When I first came to Flyertalk in Sept 2000

it was hard enough keeping up with the forums that I was interested in ie United, Starwood, and eventually Community.
As we all remember, it takes a lot of reading and even some courage till work up till you first post. The posts come slowly. In some cases they pick up speed, and in other cases, long time posters have very low post counts.
In any event, it takes some time. That's time to master the managing of
Miles and Points. I don't even remember how long it took me to discover Omni; let alone spam. Coupon Connection was another story.
So while I disagree with the thread starter (sorry Jan)

I have to say that new posters have to
pay their dues so to speak.
Sorry if some of you disagree.
