Intro section concern.


I've noticed a couple of days ago, that some new people after their 1st post
had not been greeted by anyone... I went back to 12/31/2011.

We complain about sharing the roads w knuckleheads, yet when people drop in here from the sky, we may be cutting our own throats but not understanding how important feeling a part of it all means.

I'm as guilty as anyone, not being a high tech Mr. Goodwrench type, especially w real newer cars, so WE, as a whole, often stick close only to our favorite threads.

Coming world events will increase the interest in us more, a large group of us could bring about more products suited to us at lower prices, and we could
have some legislative pull if we care more for each other.

I'm glad someone was patient w me. Early on, I didn't even know how to do paragraphs. Now, Arragonis, has taught me, and others how to post pictures.

We were all born w a baby like quality to be somewhat self centered.
You may not feel like you are wired to greet someone that has a rig, or ideas
very different from yourself.

Could we be just a little more polite, and give of ourselves a bit more?

This is a great forum, and I'm certainly not knocking it.
Can we not throw out the baby w the bath water?

It's not how much we know, but do people know how much we care?

Thanks for letting me air! Welcome any/all comments.

Let's run our race smart, and not hurry so, so that we lock up!

Sincerely;
Larry Buck

...some people still have jobs, and others have busy lives to juggle and only visit periodically.

...and, then (sadly), there are others who have nothing better to do than sit 'glued' to their computers, conversing--via internet electrons--to a CRT screen.

It has been a while. Other aspects of my life have been keeping me pretty busy.

I have not been communicating too much w new arrivals very lately.
I still check for 000000's, and am well pleased that many of you have stepped up to welcome our new people.

I just wanted to say THANK YOU!!!!!!
