And I think that is a good thing (at least here) and both are useful. I didn't mean to infer that my low post count was due to anything other than your "if you don't have something to contribute, just don't" rule. It is that very rule that keeps me out of trouble there. I don't talk much, I do "lurk" however. And as with any group of racers, I'm sure that they are great folks to see at the track and I may know a few (that I didn't even know I know) from various track events and working pit crew for an AIX car when I have time. I was just trying to say (and not very well) that we welcome the "new" enthusiast to our membership and we skip the ritual of "trial by fire" to which CC subscribes. I like to think that we have the approachable "paddock" attitude and I'm sure that is here to stay. I hope that any potential new members will pick up on that very quickly. And, rule #1 is excellent advice. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
