Default Will's debate on the WO Forum

Unfortunately the forum there lacks direction now.... the guys, mostly
youngsters, are so enthusiastic when it comes to snow that that reality
becomes no more

There are plenty of youngsters, but if you could see the TWO Rogues gallery you
would seee that there are rather more of us nearer retirement than our first
birthdays!

Of 20 threads on the first page, 16 are not snow or winter oriented (unless
it's a technical post about, say, the polar vortex). However I'm not
unsympathetic to the view that there is far too much giddiness when there's a
flake of snow in the northern hemisphere. That's why we try to wrap it up in
one thread.

If it were upto me I'd ban the word, but it would hardly be fair to impose that
on 1100 members, would it? )
