By amount of time calling, I surely rank as one of the newest people here (especially if you don't include square dance calling, which I formally started just a month ago). I started calling contras less than a year ago and have only been in front of the mic three or four times. OTOH, I've been doing contra, square, and IFD for more than a quarter century, and I'm an online junkie (probably 20 or 30 mailing lists, though many are somewhat moribund and/or announce-only, plus another ten still-active netnews groups (some of which are private)). IOW, I'm inclined to the trivial minutiae even when I don't know anything and especially when I do. ;-) I guess my point is that it's hard to categorize people, let alone discussions. -- Hugs and backrubs -- I break Rule 6 http://rule6.info/ <*> <*> <*> Help a hearing-impaired person: http://rule6.info/hearing.html
