The veterans here have alot of knowledge, but the newbies do as well. # of posts does not have anything to do with knowledge, and I don't think anybody here thinks that it does.
The one thing that counts, is that we are all here together for the sme reasons.
We give advice when we feel that our opinions are valid, and that the knowlege is correct.
We ask advice when we (and we ALL) stumble upon something we don't know, or do not understand.
We are gathering for the comradery of fellow off-roaders (not limited to Jeeps any more, thank you Graewulf and Ranger4x4).
We try to learn the proper way to enjoy the hobby we have come to love.
We love (in a platonic way)those who enjoy the hobby with us.
Post count has nothing to do with any of these things, and I think bickering between brothers about something like this is boarderline acting childish.
Tug, I love you man. You're my brother, and closer to me than most family members. We share alot of the same ideas and opinions, but I think you and Bounty need to sit down and have a chat.
Bounty, I hardly know you, and think some of your ideas are coming from a far way off. However, your a fellow Jeeper, and havn't steered me wrong. I might not understand where your coming from, but if I did, then I'd not be working my a$$ off in the heat everyday. I think you need to chat with Tug and figure out what's going wrong and try to walk away shaking hands. Not everyone speaks the same language as you (not literaly), and maybe your hearing things that aren't there.
I respect you both, and want nothing but good things for this board, and since we're off to a new format, let's start off on a new foot.
Just my 2 cents...
