This may be true, to an extant.
EVC has gotten quite sophisticated over the years. But in truth, if one really wants to stay, it is not hard.
I could for instance support a lot of newer posters but to do so might confuse those who are finally starting to understand what I DO post rather than cheerlead.
Perhaps posters can cut thier teeth somewhere else.
It is clear to me that the evos here really are only expressing what they know but because science is the base of the conversation it is not like other sites. For me this is why I post here even though my own points on cve could be better conveyed in a different setup.
my problem is not that people wont answer my questions, but that they wont read the posts. Reading is not an enemy it is one's friend and if one is afraid to read, there is no reason to be online.
Reading is this one thing. Getting a response is another. The context creation and evolution makes the writing harder than conversation, thus, why simply saying something clearly can go by the boards. Be persistant if you really want to talk. People HERE do respond, you just might need to say it in as many ways as you can imagine.
