There was some advice about the "etiquette" of posting here, stating to act as if in mixed company. That is good advice because one might be a little more reserved about what they say vs being so comfortable to not hold back. We've seen both ends of the spectrum over the years and it surely makes work for the moderator(s) to clean it up. All a person has to do is show a little respect to the forum and the manner in which they use it. We get drawn into a discussion, are compelled to respond and may do so in a tone and with content you may regret or want to change after the fact. Easy thing to do, usually a mistake, though some will be stubborn and say I meant every word of it LOL ! Myself included, though I generally avoid the majority of posts that get heated, there are always a few that attract my attention, making it understandable how things can perpetuate in a bad direction.

This place provides a wonderful opportunity to exhibit and practice writing skills. I try to remember that first, seems to help stay out of trouble LOL.

I think I started reading in '99, can only find a post that goes back to '04, but know I posted in '02, my how the time flies.
There has always been ups and downs in regards to petty bickering and unsuitable content deemed by the moderator(s) but the good always prevails.

One of the best attributes is the composite variety of backgrounds that forum participants have. Sure farming and similar are very popular, and as much as I really enjoy subjects and posts of the daily affairs, trials and tribulations with equipment repairs when under a deadline to get something done, that does not give anyone a right to better themselves over a city dwelling tractor collector who enjoys the content here just as much as anyone else. We have seen that conflict repeatedly here at times.

It's the general knowledge of all that participate here combined with the willingness to share that knowledge to anyone who asks, that defines the utmost generosity of the people here. Look through the archives and count the instances of generosity and compare to content less than that, people know how to be good to each other and that is one of the most transparent and admirable traits seen in all the forums here.

Personally, and even if a real jerk, I'm going to try to see the good in you, well unless of course you are just completely and undeniably evil LOL !!!!
