My Rant:
I came in here or posted this thread looking for help from the RV community that are members of this forum. Unwittly, as was brought to my attention in a private message I touched on a hot spot. Unfortunately that doesn't jusitify the attachs,tough guy attitudes,and/or general wise-ass remarks towards someone asking for help. I'd understand this somewhat if your dealing with a member whom which you already have history with, but towards someone who is inquirying and looking for help with whom you've never delt with before is just plain wrong and uncalled for.
It got me to thinking, if you were in your favorite campground and somebody from another site came over to you and starting asking questions about tires, tow vehicals or whatever would you display the same attitude? I think not, and if you did than you have other issues. Most people that I've run into in the camping world go out of there way to help you. This is not bothering me because I have thin skin or I can't take it, I can go toe to toe with anybody in an argument and hold my own, I just choose not to, I'd rather help.
Okay off my soap box...........got to run I've got some brandy new ST's coming in from China
