In the couple of years I've been here, I've learned a lot, been able to help one or two people with information myself and have got to meet many dozens of charming and talented people in real life. This has all been through this supposed siteful of duffers and I suppose that makes me a duffer as well by the definition of people who know more about such things than I do.

I don't generally bother with the silly threads but there are a great many erudite and helpful ones. I don't agree that all the "serious" posters have left and some seriously good new ones have joined in recent months.

Best wishes to all,
