you know, it would be nice just to be able to post a topic that some of us new guys to gas engines can turn into a discussion without this grouchy old guy poppin off with his usual negativity...........just not worth it.
i've joined a couple sites that let members pay to be able to post there and the discussion on scale topics is most civil.............RCU was the first place i joined when getting back into the hobby about 4 years ago, so i always enjoyed starting a new topic from time to time, but nowdays you get all kinds of oddballs poppin off and adding nothing but disruption.
in other words............it's no longer worth the time to try and talk to others here via "new topic".
