sstock,

I've thought the same thing myself when people who post here are ridiculed for their posts. The earful I got when gathering information for the tandem master cylinder conversion on my restored '36 Chevy pickup would have made a sailor blush. It was deleted by the moderator as soon as he saw it.

The entire forum pays the price for that when people with differnt information/experience/suggestions remain silent rarther than getting flamed. In my 74 years of life experience I've found that the smartest, most talented individuals don't constantly boast and condescend to others. In fact they are usually quite modest about their accomplishments.

"Again, you insult the members of your own forum as "unimaginative." The engines may be common, but certainly not the people."

Jay Zed,

See my comment above.

Thanks to both of you for having the guts to speak up. We'll see how long your posts stay up.
