If the stovebolters that bond together as all of us have only wanted to talk truck, this thread and many others wouldn't have even started. We have more to contribute than just truck knowledge, that's just what brought us all together. Even I get tired of talking shop all of the time. I don't answer threads sometimes just because I may have already done so earlier and just don't feel like talking truck again. For the most part, we all think alot alike, and only a few spoiled the lounge. Just look at the number of threads that filled the lounge, obviously it was popular. I'm not saying I want the lounge back as it was and I'm not making excuses for what happened there, but there are alot of topics that can be discussed by us now, especially since the election is over. Just lay out specific rules right under the forum heading to warn all that come there, NO flaming and/or name calling. Don't call it the "Lounge" though, may attract the old crowd back. Call it the "Gentlemans Club" to hint about its behavoir within that forum, not to exclude the women folk.
There's more of my 2 cents worth,
Scott
