No sleep lost of course - the flock of minions is an ever diminishing entertainment value and predictable. However, the result of continued minion/old dog cycles unchecked is a closed group with ever decreasing contributions and enthusiasm. And that's too bad in my opinion.
Some smart dudes have been through here and dropped knowledge - Grady Clay, Steve Weiner, Chris_Seven, and Hawg Ryder are just a few examples of master craftsman who have contributed. It's a pity to see their greatness diluted by an old dog who continually insists on chasing away new talent to increase only his own station. The valuable connections that might be made between these master craftsmen and the next generation of builders will be limited due to the old dog in the front yard.
