Well if I had to take a guess, most of those guys over there have spent countless dollars and hours going to college and the such to gain their knowledge and they won't just share it with anyone else. Here, the school of hard knocks is the name of the game. We learn on the fly and go with the flow and whatnot, there is no class to teach scrap recycling, other than here. sure, you can go to YouTube and find some real winners, lol, on there making videos of how they screwed up, but here the knowledge is good and quite shared. If you pay for your membership, you get to go into the scrap room and have deeper discussions about things, special rules apply in there though.
If you stick to scrapping things out, this is the best place to learn the ropes and add your 2 cents in about it, nobody is going to bite your head off, those guys have come and gone over the years. You can tell the guys here that mean business and the ones that are fly by night. We just don't talk refining, a lot of us know that one wrong mixture will land you in the hospital, or worst yet, the morgue. I myself, like life and I would assume that the rest of the people here do also.
