I don't agree. I think it's dangerous for any community to make itself exclusive. Was I one of the first to post to the Forum? No, not by a longshot. I certianly wouldn't have liked it if the other members had taken an "I was here first, go away" attitude, and I don't think it would be right of me to say that to anyone who is "new" compared to me. The only person who was "here first" and thus would have any right at all to turn away new people would be Sam.
