Honestly, Rick, the politics of the whole thing would not have even occurred to me if you hadn't put that statement in the first sentence of your post. The whole subject would have been self explanatory without that statement.
I have been reading and posting on forums since the early 1980s. I had access to usenet as well as CompuServe, Delphi, and a couple of others that I don't even remember. In those days, we were 300 baud dialup. I did learn a few things over the years. Most importantly, I don't flame other posters. If I have something to say, I just say it, and others are free to agree or disagree. I address ANY other poster in a mature adult manner, devoid of profanity and vulgarity.

Some things rub me the wrong way. The "correct police" need to "myob" and not try to correct every minor error in grammar or detail. The "your insurance won't cover that" control freaks that want to tell others how to live also irritate me. And, the surest way to start a war is to start out a post with "don't make this a _______" (you fill in the blank) discussion. That is a sure fire guarantee that somebody will come along and do just what you requested them not to do. Sort of like putting a "wet paint" sign on a park bench. EVERYBODY that passes by will have to touch the bench to see for themselves.

So, I respectfully suggest that there were more subtle ways to divert this away from a political discussion without making a "dare you" statement in your opening sentence.

Sincerely, Jim from Allentown, PA

Today's Featured Article - Hydraulics - Cylinder Anatomy - by Curtis von Fange. Let’s make one more addition to our series on hydraulics. I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in ... [Read Article]
