Gebo, I'm sorry to see you withdrawing - I'd noticed you hadn't been posting a lot lately, and had hoped you were just busy. I respect the work you do, both paid and unpaid, and the character you exhibit here.
Your concerns are valid, but overall this remains a really good forum. There were a couple of members who come to mind who seemed to take pleasure in putting others down, but they're both gone now.
I hope you'll reconsider. As well, if I've done anything offensive, please be aware it was unintentional, and I apologize. Some stuff that's intended to be humorous doesn't come across well in writing. Tone of voice carries something like 80% of the content in speech.

As well, I agree with the others who've said that the moderators do a great (and largely thankless) job of making BITOG as good as it is.

AutoMechanic, it's good to have you here. We need more young folks who aren't ancient fossils (like me). Please keep the posts coming - I enjoy them.
