CAPITALS

Well,I am not sure where to start. I recommended this
forum to my 14 and 16 year old sons as a way to become
acquainted with the members of the military vehicle
family as the progressed on their first project that
was their own. I assured them they would find KIND and
GENEROUS people eager to share their knowledge and
encourage young people to pursue the hobby.( I seem to
remember a few people groaning a few years back about
the advancing age of most collectors and that the
hobby needs new blood) Instead when Alex asked for
help humbly ,he was greeted by a PUBLIC browbeating
that went on and on ad nauseum. Using caps in an email
MAY be a breach of someones picayune idea of
netiquette but I am SURE that the proper way to
reprimand someone is in private, at least that is what
they teach at NCO school,LMET and every business
course I've taken in the last 25 years.
   For An adult to do this to a good kid(A+ in English
At Competitive PRIVATE Prep school BTW) trying to fit
in is inexcusable ungentlemanly and does nothing to
bring new blood to the hobby

   I am ashamed that it was me who recommended he seek
help here.

PS. Thanks to those who did try to help. Alex wrote
that note after six-Seven straight hours in the shop
working on his m274a2. He does this most nites after
home work and chores, I am quite proud of his work....
