1968 Travel Queen Resto Mod - 4. Bathroom Remodel

{4/22/17 Edit - Not allowed, not meant, no disrespect to the forum intended.}

Wayne, I had missed your above reply until just now.

I appreciate the instructions and the encouragement. And you are right, much of my effort is to show off a little bit. Which of us don't try that when we can? :)

Here's where I was coming from. Those threads I posted to (being called bumps) were the several - out of my total 14 category parts - that are not yet completed. Some are complete so I didn't need to keep them alive.

I had been told some time ago that if a thread went more than 12 months without a post, it would become archived and could no longer be posted to. As you know, many of my categories were started, kind of as a place holder for one of the rebuild topics or subjects, and are waiting for the major rebuild portions to finish so as to get back into these last "systems" categories.

The other morning when I made my bumping mistake, I was in a hurry to complete morning computer work and get outside to do yard, garden and green house work before it got too hot, so I didn't think much about my actions. I was only thinking, "man, it's been a long time since I've posted, and some of these categories might lock me out, I better look at them and see if I have closed it, and if not, I better make a post to keep it active". I knew they would all line up in the "most recent threads" list, but I figured people would understand what I was doing, and due to how many views these things tend to get, I kind of expected what I did would be appreciated.

As you know, instead of appreciation, I kind of got dressed down by a couple of you and I thought, "What am I putting up with this for? Why do I need to play politics with a friggin' hobby forum?"

But you know me. Like you, and many others here, we can get a little emotional. I've seen many contributors break and bend the rules. To be frank, I think most of the time when that happens, we don't intend to, we just kind of forget the fine points of the rules and we are just being ourselves in a community that we have developed. That's why we might talk wildflowers, or 4x4s or new diesel trucks or collectible Corvairs in here instead of heading over to the Campfire forum. Who do we really know over there? Right?

Anyway. I apologize for my errors, and I'll try to do better. But again, I'll get my summer stuff done and then maybe get back to this stuff in the cold months. Cheers all and have a great summer!
