: I think many people misunderstand the status of those who
: have been with this site for some time.
: We know what we're talking about, for the most part. Not
: just because we've been around. But because we've seen
: hundreds, if not thousands, of theories come and go,
: reappear, disappear, become refined, disputed,
: overcome dispution, and eventually either fade away
: into ridiculousness or become the understood rule.
: There are many things that we simply KNOW, just by
: being exposed to it for so long. Granted, we still
: disagree on a number of points, but there are a lot of
: well travelled roads that we all see as going in the
: same direction.
: Those who are newer to the site may know the answers to
: questions, but we have the advantage of knowing how
: those answers came about, what caused things to be
: rethought, why things were thrown out the window, and
: we've seen theories go through hell and back before
: reaching a final "draft", if you will. Thus,
: most of us have an understanding not only of those
: theories which apply to the game, but as to those
: which dont, and why they dont, because we've seen them
: proposed before.
: At least, thats my point of view : )
I like and agree with your statement.
Now I can just point to it instead of steaming.
