Since reading this thread early this morning I have taken the time to see what it was all about. No question in my mind, the corperate world watch every move their employees make even in their free time. You just try finding out technical info about your newer car, truck, tractor, dish washer, etc. The corperate world believe it is their god given right to have their nickel off of every tid bit of information given out. Yes I can agree if he was doing this on company time and company computers, they do have a beef. However don't any of you think for one minute these corperate excutives can't hone in anyone making public statments, be it in print, online at the corner bar, etc. Don't even think either, that because we are dealing on forums for the most part with 20 plus year old technology they don't take notice. I went the other day for my usual anual purchase at CaseIH; oil filters, points, hy-tran, etc. With the exception of the hy-tran, had I not paid with the bank card, it would have taken a larger container to carry the money in than it did to carry the parts out. Since being a retired play at it farmer, I used to step aside at CaseIH parts counter for the commercial farmer, afterall it is his bread and butter. NOT ANYMORE, WE HOBBY GUYS ARE IMPORTANT TO CASEIH. The anual inflation rate on new parts for old tractors must be running around 50% It used to be said society demanded cheap food, and they used to get it. Today farming is about cheap raw materials for the corperate elite, that being the same corperate elite that produced the tractor or the car or the truck or the bomb for that matter. Society is just like that bull at the county fair being led around by that ring in his nose. While society remain that complacent nothing will change.

Or the thump of your clothes dryer? Maybe the engine of your car? You hear those sounds every day, and you don't think much about them, do you. I can think of a few common, ordinary sounds in my daily life, too.
