What i have observed...the old (with due respect) qler prefer to dominate themselves without giving chance to the new or young qlers...They think they are more matured in their comments neglecting the young ones..A person being on reading mode is his or her personal decision..Ql is open and any one can be in active mode any time :)...That does not mean not to give the rights to others :)

I believe the decision or such thing about young and old need to be decided by the owner of ql or the mods and not by an existing qler(s).
