When I first joined this net years ago, I was excited about the knowledge and sharing that was available. However, I quickly became aware of the old crows that ruled the conversations--many of them are still here. I realize now that I have become one of them and I apologize to every new member for that. A recent conversation by a new, young member with a family that wants to enjoy their motorhome turned into a who knows more, what their credentials are and who's penis is biggest. I'm going to try to not let that happen to me again.

Bob,
I don't know which conversation you're referring to, and it doesn't really
matter. Good job. I hope to eventually join the "Old Crows" Club myself and
will remember your advice when I do.
I hope this doesn't mean that you'll restrict your sage GMC advice to us
newbies!

If it was not for the old timers that are willing to share their info and
experience, it would be a sad situation.

Although officially a Segway, reading and posting and reading responses to my and other posts on this net make me think and often bring me a perspective which I did not have prior. I don't take any discussions or corrections personally as long as they are not personal in nature. I hope others feel the same about my posts. Every day I realize more answers I don't have. ;)

I'm a newbi, hanging around here for six months since I bought my GMC. Anxious to learn, I think I've read just about every post made in that time. I've always found your posts helpful and informative, never inappropriate. I say, keep up the good work and thanks.

Well, I have the biggest penis, but I'm relatively new to the GMC so I listen unless there's something I'm involved with from elsewhere. When the Old Hands offer something I don't think is correct, I normally PM them with a question. As my ol' daddy the lawyer used to tell us "Boys, it isn't what you know that gets you into trouble. It's what you 'know' that just ain't so." Them as truly knows the GMC tend to surface here fairly quickly.
For those who are interested, my area of expertise is high powered RF systems and broadcast audio systems, with which I've been playing for money for 55 years so far. I will be retiring from full-time the end of this year.

I think yes. ~7 of them.
But as far as I'm concerned you get them all back for spelling my name
right the first time.
