John,
That's a nice compliment for the gang. Thank you.
As we developed this site, and it grew, we always tried to keep in mind the Auto Hobby Shop that was at the Marine bases we were assigned to. The building itself was provided by the USMC but making it a great place to hang around was because of the folks who worked there and those who came to work on their vehicles. So using that analogy as our "business plan," the concept seems to have worked well for us.
We especially like the *almost* commercial free aspect, too! I think the advertising on websites will continue to get worse (and longer in length) as television and print media take a bit of a backseat to the www.
