I recently wrote an article about Club Why being common. I found myself being
quite heavily criticized by the Times Editor. Also, reading the discussions
about my article, I found some criticism there as well. I did not mean to offend
anyone by my article, I was just expressing my newly developed views. I did not
think that I would get such (irrelevant) criticism.
I do not recall stating that Oldbies and Veterans should decline from giving
newbies help. In fact, I think quite the opposite. I remember very well what it
was like to be a newbie. Looking at very well made-up Whyvillians. I would
why-mail them, asking for clams and face parts, finding role models to look up
to. Of course, this was quite a different time (a time when Club Why was
selective). Any time any newbie asks me for ANYTHING, I'll give it to them.
Furniture, clams, face parts, projectiles, to live at my house... I even donate
tons to Grandma.
I thoroughly encourage everyone to give generously, as I do. Just because I
don't like to see Club Why go down the drain and lose meaning and status
doesn't mean I hate newbies.
I'm sorry if I offended anyone by saying I thought Club Why should have status.
