post counts, between long time members and new members.

This thread is going to be a shit show.

Why not just kindly respond to the posts that seem to be condescending? Perhaps the DUer isn't even aware of his/her tone.

Calling this out publicly just seems to be an attempt to stir the pot.

(Even though I have a relatively low post count, I've been an active member since 2003, and personally, I tend to have some admiration toward those with high post counts--most of them know what they are talking about, and if you engage with them in disagreement, they tend to interact respectfully.)
