I still don't get the exclusion of us old coots over 30. I think I could tell you about that Hudson kit and why it's not available any more, but you've said you don't care to hear from my generation. You guys seem to be happy knowing it all.

The OP asked the question that excludes people over 30, which includes me...because he wanted too.  Big deal.

 

But everybody can still chime in anyway.Whistling

Just pointing out the oversensitive nature of a lot of folks on this board.

I'm over 30.  My opinion doesn't count.  And it doesn't count solely because I'm over 30.  I'm okay with that.....

I don't know about being overly sensitive. If he doesn't want my input, that means I don't have to spend my time giving it. I was curious about the age limit, but I'm too old to care much. I can understand questions that have to do with different points of view because of age differences, and I can understand asking responders to give their age so their perspective can be understood in that context. What I don't understand is a thread that specifically excludes any particular age group.

In any case, I'll be eligible for the over-70 forum in a couple months. Can't wait. When that happens, I won't have to eat Thanksgiving Dinner at the kids' table any more.

I had also noticed that the OP hasn't been heard from. Maybe he got lost. That's what happens when you use GPS. Folks over 30 know how to read paper maps. A useful skill. But I digress.........
