Re: Youth v the 'Unka Barts'

["Scott Wood" <s1wood@attglobal.net>]

I don't wish to take sides with this and have never experienced
(personally-on the list) the level of debate that sometimes occurs on the
list.  My needs and requests are generally simple and not on the level of
some of you good folk.  That said, I appreciate the feedback on the
technical issues.  The level of insite and learning is magnified many
times.  So.....  Scott, I think you made a very good point here.  I
appreciate these comments.  Since we are interested in the same vehicles,
the sharing of ideas and information is such a great thing.  Let's continue
to challenge each other.  At the same time, we should offer ideas and
support for those that want to explore the new or unknown.  Heck, some of
us even have to do/see before we believe/understand.  That is not a bad
thing.

Thanks all.
Happy Holidays!
