------Rob,,,It would seem that your situation would be a little bit apart from the expressed reasons for this rule being implemented, but surely you can see that they shouldnt make up a new rule just for you (a poster who used to be a member and has 400 or so posts).
------As well, I would think I probably go to as many cruises and shows as you and God knows I talk to a lot of people. Never once have I encountered anyone who expressed the thought that the guys on this sight have an attitude,,,never! If anything the guys I talk to lean towards the idea that this sight and its members are beneficial to the integrity of the hobby. Do I agree with every thought put out here??? NO, I sometimes disagree with a viewpoint, but it would never occur to me that the viewpoint is elitist, which it seems is what it appears you are implying........Bill S
