I'm guessing most guys can read through the bullshit threads. I to get disturbed at some of the threads to. I'm guessing the hobby attracts it's share of assholes.....maybe more than it's share Originally Posted by tbone2u

Sure, I started some look at me threads back in the day but it was a different board atmosphere back then. People had fun with it. Some of those threads went on for 20 pages or more and for months. The people who commented were mostly regulars who have since disappeared.
Now we have a few starting threads that really have nothing to do with the hobby, they don't contribute anything to the hobby but they are clever enough to disguise it as a hobby topic. They start threads knowing it is just going to stir the shit and no one really wants to hear it. The majority of the responses, mostly negative, to those kinds of threads are giving them the kind of attention they are asking for. I'm getting to the point that I don't really care to add to it. I don't get anything out of it.
I don't intend on writing reviews anymore so that those guys get the benefit of it. For the few I think might want info I have I'll share it privately from now on. I hope they'll do the same for me.
