I didn't intend this reply to pick on basskisser, I was only making a
suggestion that may help improve this group overall. I see a lot of
legitimate posts from folks out there asking for help or just trying to
get involved with a topic, and they're either ignored or written off
with a wise crack.

This group has become very cliquish, and even though, there have been
some interesting posts by those cliques, they quickly deteriorate with
mud slinging. There is obviously a group of people here who represent
the majority of the posts, and those who may be "amateurs" get
quickly dismissed. Unlike other groups I have been in, this one never
takes the time to welcome the new poster or make him feel like
returning, unless the topic happens to interest the quorum.

I'm sure this post won't be treated any better, but I had to
mention it. I just hope other folks who do want to post a topic,
whether it may be a technical question or comment on something new
(hopefully boat related) will get the respect they deserve.

Anyway, I'm heading out to the lake. I hope y'all can moderate your
posts and stop fighting. Like basskisser says - "Grow UP!"

Well said.
