I wish I could find the thread now, but someone a week or so ago posted a thread as UGLY AS SIN and I simply replied - I love this forum, but the hate/fear of anything different gets old. I meant this statement. I have only been here a little over a year and I know exactly what you are saying in this regard.

As far as getting off topic, that is the fun part of actually knowing the other people who are connected to that box in front of you. I like every member I have gotten to know over various GTGs and I do not think I would be signed up for at least 5 GTGs this year alone with these people if everyone was an A-hole.

It's too bad your new friend is so close minded that a few jack a$$es made him hate a group of tens of thousands, some of us are nice... and want turbo's
