I am probably the active member who has been posting longest. At sixty-eight, I am also likely one of the oldest here. When it comes to pianists and musicians, I would far rather the company of young players than ones my own age, who are mostly fossilised into a habituated musical response, a bunch of dry-balls afraid to try anything lest someone hears it and the piano police arrive on the doorstep. Yes, I know exceptions exist, on and off forums, but I am speaking generally. Mind you, there is also far too much conservatism in the young, or perhaps not exactly conservatism, but rather a timidity, a needless desire for prior permission from some expert about playing the sounds they enjoy. "Is this the 'right' chord ?", "Am I ready to learn xxxx ?", you know the sort of thing.
The fact that that a few older members have thrown tantrums and departed just tells me that there is indeed no fool like an old fool. The wider the spread of age and artistic preference, the better the forum as far as I am concerned.
