LMAO!! Well spoken...

Tim, we are ALL here because of our addiction to MVs, but many of us have interests which also transcend simple "nuts and bolts". One of the reasons I've stuck it out here is BECAUSE we're a community of such individuals.

Come to Beltring this summer and find out...

Not every message can go into absurd detail about correct ordnance diagnostic procedures for MB headlight buckets, or the proper countersink angle for screwholes in footman loops. Most everything that gets posted here and responded to has a place in the history of our vehicles and the conflicts they fought in. Didn't you ever watch the old TV show "The Big Picture" about war and the men and machinery? We're kind of evolving our own "Big Picture" here. In my view, everything from WWII paint colors to the politics of war and peace makes a contribution to my better understanding of my vehicles. Try to find a bit more tolerance for the interests of others that may not share your own views. No single subject has ever gained unanimous agreement or approval on this or any other list. That's just life!
