Actually, ......I've been around for awhile and I think the level of expertise has dropped significantly. I see the oldtimers(long time members)  posting less frequently than they used to. Some of this is due to life influences (jobs, changes in lifestlye, etc) but some is just due to plain old lack of interest IMO. For instance, it was nice to see orbital post a new image recently. I myself haven't posted in a time because of life stuff (not that my images are or were anything to point at in the first place). Anyhow,..........I agree that alot of postings by newbies is a good thing,............it means more people are discovering Bryce again. Just food for thought.
