WGAS? Actually, a lot of people do- it"s a matter of pride in workmanship, just like the mechanic who does a great job when rebuilding an engine. Every so often this subject comes up on these boards, with the same responses....ie, as long as I can get the message the poster wants to convey, it"s ok, or...I edit and use spellcheck, etc. And everything in between. Ultradog was not being critical...Jerry was actually describing the concept that despite our varied backgrounds and abilities, we are able to communicate ideas, processes, etc.
Each of us has our own talents, and shortfalls. I notice a lot of misuse of words, misspellings, etc. Some folks abbreviate cylinder as cly, instead of cyl. I can"t figure out where that came from. Or ect is used instead of etc. Some don"t know the difference between lose and loose, much less fewer and less. BTW- fewer is appropriate when you can COUNT the difference...ie...I get fewer mpg with my new truck, not less mpg. Safety is saftey....along with a myriad of others. Some people post a long message without using a period...I always wonder if their girlfriend misses that many periods...oh boy, are they in trouble!
There is a very talented mechanic from the Hoosier state who posts here, but never hits the Enter button, to create paragraphs.

Jerry made his post in good faith, with good reason, and yes, he, and many others, do GAS about this community of folks who share the common interest of old tractors.

Today's Featured Article - The Day Mom Drove the 8N - by Brian Browning. My Dad was wanting to put in a garden but couldn't operate the 8N and handle the old horse drawn plow he had found and rigged up to use with the tractor. Well, he decided to go get Mom out of the house and have her drive the tractor while he walked behind the plow. You got to understand that while my Mom is a hard worker who will always help whenever she can... she had never operated farm machinery before that day. Dad got her out there, explained how the clutch was the same as in our o
