I too think that this is a good fourm. I signed up for 51.org but Hardly go there this one is much more entertaining.

I think that the old timers are a just a "little" cranky sometimes. Now come on anyone who is a fan of or a owner of a 51 has gotta be smarter than the average joe, squid or not. I think the newbs go through the same growing pains as you all did. I wanted a 51 from the get go but I took me untill a month ago to finally get one. So of course I wonder about all the old stuff but I think a little patience goes a long way.
