Have you noticed that if there are more than 10 posts to a subject the
discussion has changed subjects?? Count them. For instance the Wilwood
caliper. Started about a two piston caliper. Now it is about
hydro-boost. Maybe we should limit the number of responses. Just a
thought.........Terry

Terry,

I reckon this site is like a bunch of guys sitting around the pot bellied
stove in an old country general store telling stories. The subjects wander
all over the place. A word in one message triggers a thought and the
respondent heads off in that direction. It does mean you have to scan all
the emails that come in because if you don't you might miss some really good
tid bit!

I agree regulating it or getting people to stick to the subject would be
good but as they used to say; "good luck to you and the Red Sox!" ;-)

Regards,
Rob Mueller

I'm with Terry. If you've got a new subject, start a new post. Only takes a
moment.

Yeah, I hate it when the posts get all messed up .

You can see the fifth and seventh ones are sticking up ruining the otherwise perfect order of the fence. Laughing

I hate guys who post photo's on the forum as well BTW. Mad

To me it seems that post 5 and 7 are just right, but the other posts are too low.

Does anyone know where I can get some of those posts? Redoing the interior of my coach and like the rustic look. Oops, is this off the topic?

"Triggers" a thought? Doesn't happen here. Speaking of triggers
though, I have a Colt Commander for sale.
