Though I dont know any of you, I know that the attackers and the attackees are good people, I havent met anyone in this 'new to me hobby' that isnt just a wonderful caring person and would give the shirt off their back to someone who just even stops by to see their toys and ask some questions. I notice in the board that some people get their chest out and lecture a bit on some things. No big deal, if its of good intent. Sometimes things go beyond good into mean or insulting, and be honest with yourself, you dont do this stuff to be mean or harsh to others. Its a fun hobby that brings people together. Re-read your initial writtings, and consider that not everyone is as experienced as you. Also consider that there is no doubt more than one way to skin that cat, and all opinions are valuable. Cut out the competitive stuff and the I know more than you stuff. Instead, share. Be careful in disagreement of opinion or practice. Remember that this is fun. Here is a little thing to you guys that know a lot about tools, heavy duty mechanics, and fixing things. 'Dad' didnt show me how to this stuff. I am only 30. I have bought all of the manuals for my tractors. These things are vague, and take a lot of experience for granted. Even with a manual, there is so much left unclear to a novice. I ask many questions, and I study these postings to learn more every day. When you smart guys post your answers, I still dont usually fully understand what you mean. Its new to me, and many others. Show me how to do something once, and I am set for life but until I do it I am a bit nervous of damaging something or myself. Its obvious you have done it, and the confidence reflects. Be aware that we novices are likely the magority on this site, the lurkers who are learning. Thanks for all that you have shown me in the past, keep up the good and friendly posting.
