    What happened to this place?

    Reading this again it appears that a touch of snobbery has entered into this place. Which is a great shame. I reckon that if a "Newbie" did give their opinion it would probably be shot down or ignored. Oh well I suppose in years to come I will be smug as I know it all

    What happened to this place?

    I have to agree that the amount, quality and complexity of this site is hugely beneficial to newbees like myself. I read as much as I can on way home on train. More informative than a Daily rag. I will endeavour to start posting more as now feeling a little selfish just reading a d not...
