By amount of time calling, I surely rank as one of the newest people
here (especially if you don't include square dance calling, which I
formally started just a month ago). I started calling contras less than
a year ago and have only been in front of the mic three or four times.
OTOH, I've been doing contra, square, and IFD for more than a quarter
century, and I'm an online junkie (probably 20 or 30 mailing lists,
though many are somewhat moribund and/or announce-only, plus another ten
still-active netnews groups (some of which are private)).
IOW, I'm inclined to the trivial minutiae even when I don't know
anything and especially when I do. ;-)
I guess my point is that it's hard to categorize people, let alone
discussions.
