The way I've always seen it is, that those who have spent their time hunting all day for the solitary bunny or anything at all and moved ever upwards are the folk who have 'served their time', the right way!
Back in the day it was rare to get into the big stuff right away, that was hard learned. For me there was always the respect for those, usually older, who had come through the ranks and kept at it and.. rightly so.
These days, for many, it's very different... And if you can't see the difference, you ain't been round long enough..!!!
