I do enjoy message boards but if I wanted to sit and listen to petty arguements being reiterated constantly I would be with my wife instead of on this computer. I am sorry people but dont you think it's time to get back to basics and use these boards to be of help to members and give us all an enjoyable atmosphere to do what we all are here for, to crunch the heck out of everybody else.

Jim, while I certainly agree with you, perhaps by creating a new thread it will only inflame the situation?

You are probably right Michael, its just so tireing trying to sift through the garbage to find a tidbit of consumable information.

Use the filter function in your forum preferences to put those that annoy you the most on ignore. It will improve your reading pleasure immensely. :-)

I thought of that but I do not like to filter anyone. Because everyone at times can come up with important issues.

Yes, as seen in my Rocky's thread - just didn't change the title earlier.

Welcome Jim :-)

It's nice to see you here.

Maybe all the Jim's and James's should start our own team...? ;-)

How could I have missed Coburn and Cagney?? Two very cool cats.

By the way, Dan, I got Mr. Beam in my list. Couldn't forget such a good friend.

By chance do all of the forum "Jims" have the same initials?
