Marblehead Posted January 5, 2017 Hello cauvery, and welcome. Your membership is approved and we're happy you found your way to us. We look forward to accompanying you on some of the way that you still have to go. Please take the time to read the two posts pinned at the top of this Welcome page and take a look at the forum terms and rules. This covers all you need to know when getting started. For the first week you will be restricted to ten posts per day but after that you can post as much as you like. Also, until you’ve posted fifteen times in the forums, you’ll be a “Junior Bum” with somewhat restricted access and will be allowed only two private messages per day. Good luck in your pursuits and best wishes to you, Marblehead and the TDB team Hi cauvery, How about rather than thinking you wasted several years you view it as it took you several years to learn your lesson? You are welcome to jump right in ongoing discussions, revive an older thread, start a new thread of your own, or start a discussion in the "Newcomer Corner" sub-forms to expand on your introduction or ask general questions to help you get started. May you enjoy your time here. Marblehead 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Marblehead Posted January 6, 2017 Sorry, I had to remove what I typed here about the smear campaign against venerable traditions and gurus that were tolerated (even subtly encouraged) on AYP forums. I strongly felt that it should be a separate topic by itself to bring awareness. The text of the post is mostly intact on the following thread. http://www.thedaobums.com/topic/43006-humiliating-insults-against-venerable-traditions-gurus-acceptable-in-ayp-forums/ Good idea. If we are going to criticize something there needs be the availability for opposing views. (I won't get into this discussion as I do not have enough knowledge to enable me to make unprejudiced judgements.) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
