But anyway...I think a reason is because most of 'us' (the us changes constantly) know each other so 'well' so people don't have to explain themselves as much and also start having conversations about anything/everything.
But 'newbies' are usually 'let in' very quickly I reckon, you don't even notice the transition anyway.
There's also so many people on here, I can't even keep up with who's old and who's new.
It's more dependant on how much you post I guess, which is logical. Now that Timber is mosting so much, it already feels like he has been on here for ages!
But you really must see it as a community, with some more addicted than others!
(I'm now home from work, and just keep on posting... Yes, I have NO life! Well, I see this as part of my life!
And if anybody thinks that wierd.... well, I think it's wierd that young people go out every week and drink so much, and that's considered normal! I do go out sometimes by the way , but not every week, it gets boring!) Another bit of DD by Simon with an e (I think my brother always called me that!)
My Australian friend calls me dim sim
Here they are called loempia's, so that doesn't work!
