Too many issues. It sucks!
Yes it has turned to crap! To many Seniors and respected regulars turning away from posting. The Professor "Wild Thang" has stated many good points. How many will live by this is unknown. For myself, I will respect his "truce" even though some of the idiotic posts boils my blood. So to all, take his advice about research, read the forums (notice I didn't say RTFF!) , learn the intel put out here!
But after talking to my brother from a second mother (Handle starts also with a "W") , we are both stepping aside for a time to see where this leads. As JR said "Regardless, a new group must always step up to take leadership at some point. Which is as it should be. The student becomes the master".
To the close circle of our friends, contact us in the normal way. Other then that, we will lurk in the backround but will be gone from posting for some time. Yes, again it has come to this! Have a good year.
Good luck to all.

Nice job JRW! [/QUOTE]
The problem with the board outlined below is a lack of leadership.
Leaders set the example. They lead by example.
I've never thought it appropriate to tell a newbie to RTFF. We should not give him the phone number of our latest new find, but we should offer advice so he won't get himself hurt. The board needs newbies to grow. Today's newbie is tomorrow's senior member and leader.
It all starts with kindness. Then follow your nose. Everything will fall into place.
When some drama comes along, ignore it. Ignored, drama dies.
