This is a reply to Kris from an active topic. I put it here as to not drag it off topic.

Yes, Ron H is a 555 wizard. Sgt.Wookie and others are quite bright too. Brainpower is not their problem. The place is just downright stuffy! Personally a good high colonic might go a long way over there. The place is up tight! I was a member there a long time but really didn't know anyone on a personal basis. Wookie is about the only guy that I would call so much as an acquaintance. The Mods have the sense of humor of a clam. They are also trigger happy. The slightest hint of a Mains, Automobile, Boat, Trailer, RV etc, would lock a topic faster than sh!t through a Goose.
I made my last post there while involved with nubie wanting to weld directly off the Mains. I was in the middle of pointing out the dangers when they locked the thread. You can't PM the Mods there, so I dug until I found a method of contacting them. What I received was a canned message of forum bylaws. When I pleaded that I should have been given the courtesy of warning the OP of the dangers I received nada, zip, nothing.
In contrast, within a few weeks of joining EP I learned what Tuck is. Our members, mods are colorful, have a sense of humor, drink beer and wine and like to recreate & party. In short, living breathing people are found here.
Since Trek Pure changed my life and habits I have cut way back on my beer consumption. Not everyone is happy about this. Particularly my barmaids. I would put a waver day or days on that point if you or any of the great folks I've met here passes through South Florida! We have many new microbreweries now which actually produce real beer!
