My biggest concern with younger people on here comes when I need good solid advice. Now, I dont doubt that a lot of the younger people here (under the age of 18-19) know their stuff when it comes to fish, but when I need advice in regards to the thousands of dollars in livestock and equipment I own Id like to know the information is coming from someone with lots of experience.
I wouldn't let a 17 year old work on my car, operate on my body or handle my finances and I feel the same for my hobbys. Again, I'm not claiming that the young people on this forum are stupid or that they aren't knowledgeable, but I've read some poor advice and seen some poor decisions made by people that in a few years would never think of doing.
I came here for guidance, ideas, support and knowledge and personally I feel a lot better when it comes from someone that's walked the walk.
Note: I do understand that age and experience are not always linked.
