As a relative newbie my first thought also was, why is BuckBee advertising his blog here? I didn't mind terribly. I thought cdnmatt was a bit over the top with his language, but perhaps there's "history."
But fountainhall's posts seem very fair comment. A blog relying on five year old information is useless and frustrating to people who try to follow that information. Why is it considered unwelcoming to point that out? By correcting outdated information, fountainhall is doing a sevice, it seems to me.
