I also sift my way through most of the BS that gets scattered about and consider it cannon fodder for the laugh factory. But then again, I think Lewis Black is a funny Son of a B!#@#!...

It's a shame that things like this happen because forums like this have been a huge part of my learning and advancement. As Steve said, it doesn't take much more than a couple of rotten apples to ruin the whole pie, and I don't blame advanced members for not posting here...........

What Lam was respnding to was a comment I made about how many advanced hobbyists choose not to post here (or other boards) due to antics like Luke's. He didn't mean that no advanced hobbyists post here. There is a wealth of knowledge available but just not through the internet due to these types of antics. Some people simply will not put forth the effort to deal with it....and why should they?
