I've been pondering this for a while now. Sorry Mike I just chose your response to chime in. I notice a lot of the people here get very upset by what they deam off topic posts showing up. I may be wrong, but isn't a forum for discussion, questions, answers, comraderie(sp?). I've been checking in here for years now and I do not recall ever seeing a set of bylaws saying that this site is to be used for Power Wagon only topics. This probably comes up montly. Someone thinks someone elses topic is "drivel" and instructs them to stick to a PW topic. Isn't it all in the eye of the poster weather it is relavent or not. I recall for instance that Glenn Reid, a few years ago, was irritated by off topic posts but when his daughter was born, he felt the need to post a notice here. That's about as off topic as it gets. To my mind it's all information. I take what I need and leave the rest. I like knowing if Glenn is a family man and Marty likes Marmon-Herringtons. Even OTM Mike's move to Idaho makes me warm and fuzzy as it brings back memories from childhood when I lived just down the road In Twin Falls. If someone likes a modern Ford better than a modern Dodge it makes no differnce to me. I see very little in common between the old stuff and the new. Seems to me Todd is just looking for some stats. I'm not trying to step on any toes, just making an oberservation. Thanks for the space Joe. Kurt
