Are we top heavy?

I'd consider myself a newbie in this forum (and on the matter of it) and although I do visit regularly I try to keep posts at a minimum. I guess it's a question of basic courtesy not to offload one's uninformed opinion onto every thread.

I also need to say I have never seen an online forum that had as perfectly good manners as this one. People don't shout, they rarely digress. Even personal conflicts are usually dealt with in good humor and in a respectful way.

But what's most important: Even the "gods" of this forum are very very understanding and helpful even when I ask very stupid and newish questions. I was amazed, how willing people where to go at great lengths to answer dilettante questions, dig in their bookshelves or send things to an unknown stranger, trusting them to return everything in good an proper order.

I guess that is what makes this forum special and you should not be too concerned if we rookies don't constantly pipe in with unnecessary "Me too..." posts.

You may safely assume that most of us are just very very thankful that you are there, all of you!
