Dave since those earlier days on RCO when you a few others and myself had expended so much energy keeping the 'pylon thread' (you remember the 'Thread') going just so we all could have a place to talk as well as a few other sites, You have been probably the most valued contributor on all of them. Always a gentleman, probably more than myself and some others at times. Your contribution in many of your construction threads are of immense value to the racing community as well as your response to the guys who just want a go fast airplane.

I feel that Stans post above had nothing to do with you. As far as some have left the site. If I am one of the ten that you mentioned then in my case that is true but I want to assure you it had nothing to do with you or the race forum. My decision to leave the site and go elsewhere came with the big format change when the administrator decided to unlesh that abomintable feature on us called 'rate this post' that opened up a hugh can of worms allowing less than rational people to travel all over the site and vindictively destroy any creditability a large number of the best contributors had painstakingly developed. Many sensible posters had pleaded with the administration to eliminate that destructive feature only to be told "Oh you will love it". That response in my case was enough to realize this is an irresponsibly run site and to realize everything the administator had said from the start had been untruthful and not the place I care to be nor waste my efforts on.
