Bob-hang in here.Trust in the fact your fellow members give you a fair shake and you know you don't really know Brent or Bill that well,but I suggest they are pretty even handed in dealing with stuff.

As a old Admin on a huge site,I wanted to point out that almost all sites have a agreement you sign when you join.In that agreement includes once you post info,that isn't your property any longer.The thankless job of a Admin or Mod is to "try" balance between free speech to encourage postings and fun and forum rules in place for good reason.Sorry Bob-I don't agree with you about closing the thread.I do think to post about another forum's issues in my experiences has never lead to a good outcome.I do think here it is refreshing to find so many overall that get along so well and are so tight.I don't know why,if it is the type of members here,or the topics we cover,or the times management gets involves with a correction.But I want to again remind you the bottom line is there isn't a open free speech forum anywhere with the sign on agreement.Once posted it belongs to the forum owners/management to do with it as they choose.And is a benefit in some small way to all.

So Bob-how's the gas mileage going on the rod.Yeah-yeah,I'm changing the topic to get ya to start another post moving forward bud.
