Tony, point taken. I have come to really love this forum as well. I'm glad you feel enough ownership in the experience to feel comfortable speaking your mind so that your experience here isn't spoiled by others. That speaks worlds of your character.

I found this forum early on and immediately felt at home. I quickly signed up and joined in. Because I liked this forum, not because of any outside influences. It's a good feeling when you get in on the ground floor of something you believe to be so good and getting better every day. This isn't the first time I've gone to a new forum and had similar feelings, and it may not be the last. I'm greatful for the friendships I've made on the boards, some of whom turned out to be in my own backyard and now we're friends in our own home club. Communities like this and model clubs and shows and the related friendships do a lot to keep our hobby alive in the face of adversities.

As for my previous statements, my soapbox is back in storage and I'm looking ahead. I'm proud that everything discussed here has remained rational, civil, and friendly, and protective of a positive attitude. Things are going to be fine 8)

Guys, Jairus and I talked about moving this thread to Rants and Raves, but then, that would go against what this forum is all about.
It is the forum for the builders, collectors, and scale auto enthusiasts in our hobby. We are for the most part one big happy family.
How many other places in our lives can you make such great friends, to the point that they will open up their homes to you, offer you advice, voice their opinions, and sometimes help steer you in the right way.
That said, we will not be censoring or moving posts or threads, unless they are mistakingly posted in the wrong section.
We feel that the forum is for everyone, and everyone has an opinion.

Okay, I pau
