You are correct, there are lots of experts on this forum and they contain a wealth of information and are usually only too willing to help.
However there are also people that when given advice or product reviews will in essence call the reviewer stupid or a liar. Remember Frans speaker review or the review of the Logictech Z2300s? Even though the review was given by professionals with decades of experience, they didn't know anything. This attitude causes good knowledgable people to say the hell with it, why bother.
There are also still people who have an agenda and want to get into a pissing contest on why their arranger is better than anyone elses.
I think that if this continues there will be less and less participation on this forum. Just witness some of the people who have already quit.

I couldn't agree more and it does cause some to leave, and rightfully so. It even ran me off for awhile.
However, you and I are not moderators and have no control over this behaviour, only the moderator does. So, my post was nothing more than a call to action for people to just participate more... regardless of the subject of the post. Some people, over the years, have said to keep this forum only about arrangers and I, personally, do not agree with that. Especially, when you have a forum (like many) which is declining.
A thriving forum becomes a community and in such, people don't just talk about one subject... they talk about many things.
I'm not exactly a youngster but I'm younger than many here and it's nice to get a senior perspective, too.
