I like how you referred to them as a "couple", sweet! I have to tell you I don't know how much impact it can have.

We are a closed little bunch of folks that take turns ragging on one another.    There are 425 followers of the board, don't how many lurk and don't mark the board.

You would have to think any serious minded folks would see the post history of those two and others and see what they are up to, but maybe not.
