Thanks to all for their posts. It has given me some insight that I did not have before. But I must say that many of these posts do suggest that this is a Facebook type "forum of friends" place. Like others I don't have a lot of free time and I glance at forum items. I've been doing that for almost 2 years. Then when I finally got around to writing some comments I am immediately thought of as some rookie. Well I've rebuilt a number of engines and gearboxes over the years and know plenty about cars but because I don't post too much I get patronized by members who think I'm a nut. I also read two threads recently (cholos and cafe standards) where a lot of bad language and demeaning comments were made. I also saw where a guy was suspended because it all of a sudden came on the site. But others who were really bad got a pass. So there I've said my peace and will stop. My point is that there are tens of thousands of folks on this site. Who cares if you "know" them or if they are only occasional users. They should be treated the same as those who have loads of free time and comment daily. Why chase people away? It's more about old timer's ego than real oversight from my observations.
