[QUOTE="biglou, post: 119424"] I agree with all of the observations above. Everyone knows someone in almost every social/work circle they are involved in that just doesn't seem to get it or rubs someone the wrong way. I can't even imagine what it would take to try to stay on top of a cast of nearly 8000 characters like this. I come here a LOT because I just love this place! My own personal method in dealing with certain situations is to not get involved in someone else's pissing match. Some of the regulars here have earned great respect from me and probably don't even know it. Some of those same people have have also made me laugh hysterically on more than one occaision and some of those same people have made me see red a few times. My opinion? It's not worth me losing out on this site by letting it get to me. I have never had any personal attacks against me but I like to think that I could be big enough to let it go and not ruin the enjoyment I get from this place! Being somewhat of a computer newbie, I lurked here for probably 4 months before joining. I felt that if I could offer someone just a little help every now and then, that I could repay this site for all of the knowledge, laughter and commeraderie (sp) that I personally get from here. I believe that if I ever had a beef with this place so big that I felt I would have to leave, I would just bow out, unceremoniously, and that would be that. None of this mud-slinging, "If I'm going down, I'm talking as many with me as I can" bolony. I love this place and I think that with so many folks here, there are bound to be cycles when it all seems like it is going down the tubes. But if you look at all the core members that post regularly, things don't really change much. You still get their vast knowledge, their sick senses of humor and it's all free for the taking. How can you beat that? I've told Okie before and I'll say it here: I really appreciate having this site and I am very thankful for everyone that makes this place what it is. I can't imagine undertaking a task like starting and running this place! I don't always agree with everything that is said or that goes on here, but that's the way everything is in life and, for me, it's a small price to pay for what I get in return. As far as people complaining about anyone making a profit here, I think it is the same as paying for a service that you really enjoy. The bike shops that I patronize get my business because I love going there and because they know me by name. Heck, they know me by voice when I call! I enjoy what they give me and like going there to socialize and trade knowledge. They are the kind of places that make everyone that comes through the door fell welcome whether they are a seasoned vet or the new guy off the street with a lot of stupid questions ( I know that guy very well!). Just like this place! I do my best to try not to let the rough spots get me down. They will pass and we will continue to have a great place to hang out.:) Sorry for rambling! Hope this made some sense. [/QUOTE]
