I have noticed this also. I have been reading the comments for a long time before I decided to join. They are just plain mean to some of the new posters and make unfounded accusations.
Some of them ( I don't need to mention names it is obvious who they are ) are so full of themselves it is beyond annoying !
I am sure they will now say, I don't have to tune in, or maybe that I am a sock puppet trying to trick someone? Their inside jokes are redundant and pompous. If I had over six hundred posts on a site I would worry about why I have no life instead of brag about it. Just saying ...
