You fellas are just too sensitive, you should have been around years ago during the porting wars, that was fun. Don`t take things so serious, these old hands have been there n done that + seen it all. Razzing the newbies has to be brought into check though, they don`t have the experience or background on these old hands and take the posts too seriously I have known through this site Tommy, John, Harley, and many more of them from since I joined, I would not allow them to go too far with their kidding around but its just their nature. All the guys that have joined over the last couple of years have had it real easy and have gotten used to threads just being straight forward and mostly serious, get to the point and fix the problem threads. These old hands just want to stir things up a little, adds some excitement to their boring lives and brings back memories of the old glory days. Be patient and don`t engage them if you don`t like what they post, this is the internet and open to all if they stay within the guidelines.
Note to the old hands though, reign it in on harassing the newbies, we don`t need to run them off, they won`t take over AS and leave you homeless...LOL
