When you put this much thought into something, do you first take a step back and admire it before posting?
I've read a few of your tome-like blitherings, so you really don't have any room to judge.
That said, I can see this is a closely knit group, and I'm not a member. I do think Odin should warn newcomers that they aren't welcome by the local hoi polloi, but he's got to work with what he's got. He's a nice guy, but far too many regulars who make it very clear that others aren't welcome.
