Hi,

Just let me share a thought about this:
"existing ones can continue in pertetuity"

For me long standing members of this community are appreciated!
I really miss reading those community members that reached the retirement 
age and reduced (or ceased, *sigh*) their participation.

Experience is valuable.

Advices are valuable.

What is *extremely* strange to me is people not accepting that others may 
not accept their advice. If following a given advice was "mandatory" then 
it would be an "order", not an advice.

Cheers,
Carlos
