Perfect demonstration of the problem: You don't know me, I don't know you. You don't know the culture around here, I do.

For starters, there are many reasons why I follow five people. This has been discussed amongst the community for more than a year. This is not the sort of thing one would know after five hours.

For another thing, nobody here is "OP." Ever. There are nineteen comments here, and you bothered to look up and see that I have a thousand followers... but you don't think I deserve the courtesy of being referred to in the first person.

Finally, you're discussing an idea for a site you've been a member of for nineteen hours... whereas I've been here for nearly three years.

Yet that doesn't stop you from opining that maybe I don't know my way around the site, and that maybe I'm - wait for it -

...whiny.
