OP et al,

thanks for engendering some decent (?) discussion.

It is, they are, threads and discussions such as these here and elsewhere that cause management some pause. And glad I am that this thread is not playing out in the Welcome Wagons.

As several well established ladies have noted above, the dozens of ladies new to our hobby community (hundreds and hundreds*** in 2024 so far!) should be welcomed appropriately for having the courage to join our hobbying community and for offering their companionship to gentlemen who want to enjoy their interest.

As noted, the rules herein demand respect and prohibit bullying

Happy Hobbying!

*** imo, many of those hundred and hundreds of newly joined female profiles don't "convert" to verified status due to the lack of a warm and respectful welcoming. But WTF do I know!
