> Have we really become THAT paranoid that we think a big company like WFCO or Winnebago cares even the slightest about what one person says on a tiny little TRACTOR forum site? Why would they even be looking here?
Companies can and do search the net looking for posts that might reflect poorly on their reputations. In fact, there's at least one company, reputation.com, whose entire business is searching the web on the behalf of customers who are concerned about their online reputations.
> They say way worse about these companies on sites like RV dot NET, a site that has RV industry sponsors. No problems. The companies welcome the criticism, and they cast no aspersions that there will be people unhappy with the product.
True. But those sites are in the RV business, and they won't stay in that business if they routinely remove posts that reflect poorly on their advertisers. YT isn't in the RV business, so they don't have any incentive to leave up a potentially defamatory post on a topic that's not particularly relevant to their business.

The topic was 'Dry and not-so-dry camping' and it was posted around 8/31.

Today's Featured Article - Third Brush Generators - by Chris Pratt. While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
