Okay folks Moose and I have worked out a cease fire of sorts. And we will leave each other alone. So I am backing down as long as he remains civil.<br />Just a little info as to why it is i don't want to let the past lie. I have been a part of several great message boards that have either died or become a mere shadow of themselves because of someone leveling personal attacks agianst others that did not share thier views. Usually it starts when someone feels they are smarter and know more than others and set about prooving they are the bigger better man. Of course this does not sit well with anyone let alone the personalities that most of us have by nature of our common intrests. Usually the attacks revolve around folks saying stuff about spelling and grammer and attacking the inteligence of those that everyone else respects. I fo one do not put up with it. regardless of my "side" on the issue I go in both guns blazing and no holds barred in order to hopefully make the troublemaker/s leave or at least start picking on me which means they are leaving others who need the break to cool off alone. Personally only one person that ever attacked me personally ever got under my skin and that was because he was threatening to cause problems for me at work. What was worse is this person was close enough and knew where I worked and could have done it. I am rather thick skinned about personal attacks and my skin since then has gotten much thicker. I can usually give as good as I get and keep a level head because in the scheme of things what does it matter anyway it is all electrons Steve is gonna kill anyway LOL. <br />Anyway just a little to let you know why i do/did what I did and that for now it is over. I won't sit back and let someone attack others though so I won't promise it will not happen agian.

Good deal Pete... now lets get back to the business of info/ideas swapping. I've personally learned alot from this forum and enjoy the debate on some issues. Hope no one takes me too seriously as I'm just a shade tree outboard wrench who enjoys his sport of fishing. Working on boats and motors is a nessesity. :D

Could't agree more. This is too good a forum to mess it up. There is room for everyone's opinion as long as it is not personally addressed toward another individuals perceived shortcomings. I am certainly in no position to be casting the first stone, myself.
