That's how it is now. That's fine. Folks are here who like that sort of thing.

Years ago, folks were here to discuss tractor issues. Down a ways, almost a page down, is a fellow whose lift arms aren't working on his tractor. He came here for some help.

All the chatter about 'fun stuff' which has nothing to do with tractors has pushed his message down so fast, no one ever saw it, or helped him.

If that happens to enough people, they don't bother coming back here. They don't get any help, everyone is too busy whining about ebay, or some such thing.

Then this page loses it's usefulness. Only get complaining type of messages, not any tractor talk.

Just 2 different flavors. Nothing wrong with either one, you way or Roger's way. As long as we all realize different people come here to get different things. Some, like you, are looking for chit-chat & fun. Others are looking for help or real info.

If you think about it some, perhaps 'your side' can respect the other side's view, and not just trash a person who wishes to discuss tractors, get info, etc.

Don't matter to me, Kim changed the direction of this page a couple years ago, & that's how it is. Just general chat, nothing to do with tractors any more. A person can go to the other pages for specific info, and hopefully the general chat remains low on those areas.

A pretty good compromise of the 2 different views of 'how the world should be'? :)

But a little respect can go a long way. Some fellows miss learning & seeing real tractor info.
