Fred, you like to shoot the breeze,wouldn't a forum just for off topic shootin the crap be a good idea?Leave the rest of the board for stictly truck related items, no arguements.Moderating the General forum is tricky,what I consider off toic may not be off topic to another guy.When I get together with my gearhead friends, we talk gears, but we also touch on everything else,especially women,lol.I'm not saying that heated political discussions are necessary,but just check out the Christmas Post in the General Forum,it's got political and religious overtones, not inline with the posting rules.But If I say something,the bickering starts.These same guys do have stuff to say about trucks,so.........give them a place to do both,but totally separate.
