I already had a couple of "thanks" on comments before I ever even noticed the intro section, and had been on here a couple of weeks already. Any questions I have asked have been in already existing threads. The only thread I have started was to share an experience. Perhaps these details are why my lack of an introduction did not receive the harsh ridicule that some others do.
In the past 10 months, this forum has been a plethera of information. I hope I have offered a tenth of what I have taken. Most folks on here have been very forthright in displaying their knowlege or their ignorance......that's not an insult, as I have much more respect for someone admitting their ignorance in a matter, than for someone hiding it.
With an average of one post per day, I have only been on the receiving end of said ridicule 3 times. Once for sharing the differences in my area about the illegality of dumpster diving, mixed with my own misunderstanding of someone elses definition of it. Once for sharing my own reasons for NOT breaking down electric motors. And once very recently, a newer member twisted and changed my words reguarding homemade trailer VIN's, and even had my original post removed, stripping my ability to offer a valid rebuttle. 3 out of 271.....not bad.
To the 3 of you (names withheld to protect the guilty), I have the memory of an elephant. I WILL remember who you are and the way you handled the experience I had to offer.
To everyone else, thank you for sharing, and making me feel welcome here, despite my lack of an introduction.
