For one thing it's BORING, for another it goes against the supposedly supportive ethos of mumsnet and third, I don't think the advertisers would be in support of culling the number of mumsnetters just to keep the older posters happy?

But most of all, because it's a boring subject.

Now I'm going to go and do something more interesting instead.

heheheeh
no we HATE new posters we LOATHE them
and we ritually sacrifice them
we are not bitchign
we are saying why are we SO bothered abtou them,?

has there been unpleasntries?frankly i don't know who is new, ole timer or whatever.

I generally ignore it. Don't mind a bit of witty banter, but it can be a bit ott at times, I guess.

I agree with cod, to add I think there's been more bitchiness from the 'newbies' about the 'oldies' since said threads. Its all fun really. Friendly banter (i think) (I hope)

inever notice new people-unless they say hello im new.why?where?

also how do you know whos new and whos namechanged?

Who cares

i just think cod should be reported TBH, she always seems to be the instigator in these threads!!

me too
what a cow

ach no cod has a unique way with words!save the fish

rofl @ cod

a cow and a fish what a weird chimera

apparently this is a cow fish.

oh bottom hole it didnt work

That's surf & turf surely?!?!?

who even notices who is 'new', though?

so many people flip names.

could this be cow fish newbie schmebie just get stuck in and remember it isn't real

mwaw mwaw kissy kissy lets all be friends

Nah that's not cow fish. Not enough lip gloss

When i first joined MN i just blended in. I hated being a newbie so i didn't draw it to everyones attention.
