I was working on a project a few years back and after a few posts Terry Thompson posted.  I thought it was cool to have him see what the thread was about and as expected he gave some good advise.  Joe

How do you define "big names" There is 100'S of "BIG NAMES" in here that know more then the ones you idolize. Most of them don't have the time to post every 10 minutes. But when they do there reply is very informative. I can name a few with under 400 posts that know more then some with 2000+ replies. JMO

Consider this.....maybe they are present and do post but they are not identifying themselves?

I've been a member of various automotive forums for years and in one there is a certain well known SUCCESSFUL drag race driver that has been there longer than I. He posted  a few times a week and was very sensible with his advice BUT since we only knew him online as RUSTBUCKET nobody figured him to be who he really was.......

When I saw the Tony Koester in a thread, I thought, this forum isn't much different than my trade forums at work. Big names in my business don't bother. Look at all the MR employees who don't post and they own this and all of the master modelers who don't bother. They really could help us all. Thank you Bruce Petty and Joe Fugate who do post.
