A good range of opinions have been offered, so that is a good sign. Perhaps my original suggestion would break it down too far. However, I am still of the opinion that the two big forums: "General Discussion" and "Layout and Layout Building" are too all encompassing. I see today a member who had a topic in "Layout and Layout Building" was advised by someone that he might get more answers on "General Disvcussion". So the topic originator put it on that forum as well. He now has the same topic in two places. I suggest that one reason people have difficulty placing a topic in the appropriate forum is that the scope of the forums is too broad and vague. One side issue that came up is an age limit. I think it was only on the lower side, at least initially. Count me strongly against that one for the following reasons: <ul><li>We should be encouraging young folk into the hobby.</li><li>People who have some experience can pass the benefit on to those starting out. </li> <li>Self interest - I am approaching an age that might be considered over the hill. First they will ban youngsters, then they will ban old fogeys like me. </li></ul> I wonder if anyone from MR would pick up on this thread?
