I was just after editing my post to mention that. But there's always been an element of being harsh and unreceptive to noobs here. It was probably even worse a few years ago, I even put up with some crap when I first joined but that didn't put me off the place. But perhaps we do need to make the place more interesting in order to attract interesting members, but it's just hard to find the motivation and time anymore to do that. It could be a chicken and egg situation.
