If it was that simple....
The admin would have to keep up every-time we add or subtract a mentor. He might take exception to the additional work on his part.
In a PM exchange he announced that he might consider making a change but first it would have to see if the section is successful AND this would be a low priority since he has other things to deal with.
In the mean time, bear with us, we have no choice.

No clue as to whom floyd is.
The idea is that deleting posts is controversial and can create a negative approach to the whole section.
I am looking at this as a semi private conversation we can all listen to but not participate. If I have to go 'shut-up' and delete posts I am sure this would create a 'violent' push back. So the solution is only a few select can participate, the thread operator and the mentors. Even moderators are not allowed to answer.

I actually agree. Tone is important and mine came up short.

I think it's an opportunity to get answers from pros/specialists in different fields, rather than 50% knowledgeable, 25% somewhat close and 25% that don't have a clue (and 50% of the answers being repetitious because nobody takes/has the time to read all the posts). I've seen some really wrong answers/advice given, some of which was not even related to the same equipment (people that use phones giving advice about phone software when the question was about cameras)

Ron, don't know if you're taking suggestions for mentors, but one of the best, most knowledgeable and helpful posters is amfoto1. Another is burkphoto.
I second that.

I think this is really bad news. I belonged to the BCA, the Buick club of America, for many years and it was great; my main interest was 1954s, so when I found an organization devoted to the 1954s I joined it, and there was a clique of 4 or 5 people who were the only ones allowed to do anything. For instance: if one of them found a car of interest somewhere, they would pass the location info to the man in that group that was closest geographically. Swell. I do film, and I have been doing it well, since 1953 without having to deal with some 'pros'. Note lower case 'p'.

Just the other day didn't one of these so called pros tell someone that they could get the same infra-red results with software that they would get with a converted camera?

It was I who suggested it as an alternative to modifying the software. If you pay attention, I am a moderator there, not a mentor. I made clear I would not answer any question but would ask for further information at a thread beginning - if needed.
Actually this is misleading. I did not state this but in the moderator selection.

I believe you said "I believe you can get the same results with software". Rather clear to me. I know you believe you are never wrong.

What exactly makes someone a "pro". What are "serious credentials." Does someone have to be making their living as a photographer? I am a retired college professor who taught his first photography class in 1972, and many more times since then. Some of my students now make their living with photography. Does this make me a professional? What if we get conflicting answers form mentors? Since there is a lot of room for speculation in photography, this is bound to happen (unless the mentors have a policy of not disagreeing with one another).

If you were completely honest instead and try to start something you would have noticed that one of the mentor corrected me. But never-mind that hey?
By the way, what is difference between:
"I believe you can get the same results with software".
and
"You can get the same results with software".
