Perhaps that's it - the passing over to the new generation, as it were, but the "old stagers" can offer the means of bringing people together.
Certainly the individual acts of kindness and thoughtfulness I've seen just this past few weeks from posters such as Country Woman and Angharad bear that out. Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy!!!
OK, now back to the battle!!!
