How come it's okay for the kids to post totally-off topic material on the board but you'd like to exclude "rivet counters,' who post material actually associated with the hobby? Isn't that unfair? [/quote] I really believe Fergus meant the "RIVET COUNTERS" who have no tolerance for deviation from the prototype. I think anyone whose been in a club has encounterd these folks and they can take the fun out of the hobby for everyone. Having said that, please remember this, not all rivet counters are created equal. Many are very respectful of others and utilize constructive criticism to teach rather than destroy ones confidence in their work. I don't know if you're a RIVET COUNTER or not, but you certainly sound like you would be one of the latter. [:)][:)][:)] [/quote] Thanks for the clarification and yes your right I was reffering more to the myoptic ones with no or little tolerance for deviation. I was part of a great club once, but the anal retentives ruined it. We landed spending more time on "Old Minutes and New Minutes and associated business" then talking about the craft or kibitzing and having a good time and lots of laughs. Nuts to that and nuts to "purists". There are plenty of straight forward hard core MR threads here. They will not change in number as we keep them serious and to the the point. However They will go down in number if we boot the keen and young off the forum. There is plent of room for kibitzing. Get rid of the kibitzing a lot of us will go elsewhere. The threads will go down and this will be one very boring place. Trust me. There is plenty of room for everyone! Normally I take take life far too seriously This is one of my escapes. Thank you and have a good night! [/quote] Good nite...
