Cool it, Semi. This and most of the OTs lately aren't any different than the ones I read when I first came here a little over 2 yrs ago.

IMO the pre-2005 crew is of a different ilk (what the hell's ilk?) then the newer crowd. They don't see eye to eye and they don't care to play with each other.

I sensed a difficulty being recognized when I first arrived, but I gradually made friends. Honestly, some of your posts could irritate, but we are used to you now (or at least we put up with you - ha ha). I feel that no one wants to say it, but the old guys just don't like the new guys (oh boy, now I've gone and done it [hey, great song title]). I dare not say why - I may not even know, but I have my hunches.

Since you posted, and replied in Scott's thread too, I thought I'd add my two cents.

OK, let it fly.
