Dear Moderator, my original question magically disappeared, I’ll post a paraphrased version again, What difference does it make if the OP’s first post was 5 years ago? This is a serious question. There are certain senior members that are judgmentally harsh and I wouldn’t doubt that the OP was avoiding conversing their thoughts. Also, why is it nessesary to go back and read all of past posts by a person and then bring it back up in a current post? If the OP felt he wasn’t “cordially welcomed”, and had a thought 5 years later, who cares. It is his post and thoughts.
