| G'day! | 
			Thanks for dropping by and for the update, Art. Always enjoyed your posts. Nice pic too! On the subject of leaving talk forums...I left one last week that I had been a member of since '08 with over 11K posts. I won't say which one - it doesn't really matter. But basically was really tired of some of the knucklehead posts and even worse the moderators just let a bunch of stuff happen without getting a handle on it. It was an embarassment for me to even be associated with (what I considered anyway) stupidity. I've been thinking about cutting back on Internet time anyway so it worked out for me as a win-win. I thought I was a pretty decent contributor though - but after a while you just get sick of it. Different situation here entirely - much value and not the stupid stuff.

			Nice to see some familiar names here. True: you wonder where people "went" ... ...I am still around. So many have helped me out, of a wrenching situation... in ways they will never know. Hope to return the favor someday.

			Member who has passed...RoninLB...of big ride fame.  When the phone rings, I remember answering and hearing a NY accent:  "Paul, this is Ron.  I'm in Orygone now, are you set up for an oil change?" Damn, I'd like to do it again...RIP my friend.

 IIRC the Z-man first coined the phrase "poopy-head" as it related to moderators. Tongue in cheek of course, but we latched on and won't let go. EDIT: not sure but I suspect this thread might have started the whole thing, kinda funny: https://forums.pelicanparts.com/porsche-924-944-968-technical-forum/99529-idiot-child-2.html Last edited by sammyg2; 11-18-2019 at 10:22 AM.. | ||

AOL had a good community message board 20-25 years ago. There were fewer people involved and we were closer. Funny thing is we had the same personality types there that we have here.
