WGAS? Actually, a lot of people do- it"s a matter of pride in workmanship, just like the mechanic who does a great job when rebuilding an engine. Every so often this subject comes up on these boards, with the same responses....ie, as long as I can get the message the poster wants to convey, it"s ok, or...I edit and use spellcheck, etc. And everything in between. Ultradog was not being critical...Jerry was actually describing the concept that despite our varied backgrounds and abilities, we are able to communicate ideas, processes, etc.
Each of us has our own talents, and shortfalls. I notice a lot of misuse of words, misspellings, etc. Some folks abbreviate cylinder as cly, instead of cyl. I can"t figure out where that came from. Or ect is used instead of etc. Some don"t know the difference between lose and loose, much less fewer and less. BTW- fewer is appropriate when you can COUNT the difference...ie...I get fewer mpg with my new truck, not less mpg. Safety is saftey....along with a myriad of others. Some people post a long message without using a period...I always wonder if their girlfriend misses that many periods...oh boy, are they in trouble!
There is a very talented mechanic from the Hoosier state who posts here, but never hits the Enter button, to create paragraphs. Sometimes I don"t read his posts because they are so difficult to follow, similar to those who post in all capital letters. I likely miss some good repair tips because of that.
Jerry made his post in good faith, with good reason, and yes, he, and many others, do GAS about this community of folks who share the common interest of old tractors.

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
