nevertheless, i fully understand the content of your advise and it is very well taken. think forward, or people will be left behind.
This forum is here to discuss all factions and eras of Journey, not just the current. There are people here that are more interested in talking about the Perry era for instance. There are people here that are Augeri fans and so on. They'll not be interested in discussing Arnel as much as you might. That's why Saint John advised to take some time to get a feel for this place. We don't want anyone being driven away by others. It's cool that everyone has their own take on Journey, as there are so many different eras that appeal to so many different people in as many different ways.
I like to sit out on the front porch, where the birds can see me, eating a plate of scrambled eggs, just so they know what I'm capable of.
