Default RE: Losing The Experts and Their Knowledge

WOW!!!! saw this thread earlier today and signed on tonight to see this!!!!! This thread is growing faster than gas prices!!!!How about a few thoughts from a guy with over 2000 posts on RCO before it crashed. I was so happy to find RCU. I lived here for a long, long time. I even remember when Bob was known as aerobob and Taurus engines were "unknown". Since I have returned after a 2 year burnout, many of my friends have disappeared. Still love RCU, but things have changed

Things I have noticed:
1-Marc gave me a place to go when there was none. RCO died and there was no decent forum for me to read "the latest".
2-There are a lot more experts here now than ever before (please note the tone just because you think you are an expert does not really qualify. However; more people are flying and more informed than ever before. So, are they really "experts" or just 14 year olds with nothing better to do?
3-Experts tend to tick off the guys who "really know what is going on"
4-Moderators are caught in the middle
5-Somebody is going to lose

So here I am-- RC Junkie and deep thinker with "Too much time." I do a lot more reading and a lot less posting.

Word to the wise--- it's a hobby---treat it like one. People will disagree with you if you promise the sun will rise tomorrow morning. You will disagree and a moderator is sure to make the wrong decision. I know-- I make those wrong decisions every day, and boy do I pay for them! BOTTOM LINE: smart people will figure out if the sun rises. I know it is frustrating.
