Just to check in here...I was the original poster who posted with annoyance of not just
Liam's posts, but others, too. I stated my own feeling (albeit, an unpopular one) that there seemed to be an "old boys club" mentality of a few posters taking over every thread and backing each other up to take it in the direction that they chose to. I felt this was disservice, especially to the newcomer looking for answers, and also when attempting to search out pertinent information (via the search function) and coming up with too many posts (again, in my own opinion) by that select few. When someone new comes on the board and wants info about a certain machine or such, I would assume that they want diversity in opinions and not just the select few who may push away others.
This is my first post in this particular thread. So, the "other" guest(s) who have posted here are truly that. Since I had already noted my opinion in another thread, where I had hoped it would end, I did not feel the need to post here until my comments were being mistaken for others.
I apologized in that other thread if my comments were to lead to a flame board and stated a wish for this NOT to become just that. I wish to express those same sentiments here, so please, let's all refrain from going there...or else we will end up there, like any other board. Like I said previously, this board has done so much good for so many people, myself included.
Liam, people obviously DO like your humor. I suspected that I was in the minority and that my opinion was not a popular one. I will just read over it from now on.
Liam, in the hopes that this stops here and goes no further, I offer you an apology. Things were bad for me yesterday, and I seemed to have taken all that out on you. I went looking down a thread and felt once again that things were swaying and it just hit me wrong. By no means (IMO) are you the only one that does this, but I just happened to caught a thread where it was you.
I was wrong, and I am sorry.
