I have to agree to a point about "off topic posts". Like some of the other replys have stated what is of interest to one may not be of interest to others, and omething like a pic of somebody's 4 wheeler stuck while they were out playing would probably be innapropriate for the board. What I can't understand is why a picture of a tank in trouble would be removed from a tractor related site. What is a tractor, other than a mechanical device used to do work for us, be it a wheeled version or a tracked version. One of the uses for the surplus Jeeps from WW2 was on farms where they were used in all sorts of "tractor related" roles. Would a Jeep pulling a plow be tractor related???? By the same token all a tank is is the military's version of a track type tractor. I guess if it had shown one of the tank varients set up with a rome plow like they used in Vietnam it may have been more a crawler tractor than one with just a gun. Or possibly one that was set up as a mobile wrecker/shop pulling the same tank out of the mud it may have been allowed because the wrecker version would have been more "tractor related", not to mention the tank in question would have been both stuck and troubled....... I really do enjoy this site, but I still think sometimes things are just taken a little too much to the extreme sometimes when it comes to OT posts...Most of the guys I see that frequent this site do a pretty good job of keeping things "on topic" without supervision. I know it has been said before but even though this is a "tractor site" it is still the "front porch" where everybody should be welcome. If somebody has something interesting, once in a while, for all to see then why should they be restricted just because it doesn't appear to some to be "tractor related", or is just not interesting to some. There are some of us out here that are Veterans that might like to see something like this once in a while........Just my .02, for what it's atually worth after taxes.
