I think that's true of anywhere, at any time, in any place, not just a forum. Willigness to participate is the first hurdle when interacting within any group, acceptance and recognition comes from that participation plus time and familiarity. I haven't been here much longer than you, Bilbo, but I was no more "ignored" than I would have been if I'd walked in at a party as a guest and interrupted an ongoing conversation between two friends. And that doesn't bother me, this is a public forum, I never expected to get any reaction, let alone the fantastic one I've recieved since joining this community.
