But here's the thing: Keith is the kind of member who 1.) Contributes to the forum. 2.) Works with another member doing amazing custom builds and "refreshes" his tractors. 3.) Doesn't ask questions that can be answered by reading a manual. And last, but not least, answers people's questions! .... Hell, he's the very kind of member EVERYONE enjoys! Why would you suggest he just go away? I don't care if you agree or disagree, but we don't have enough members like Kieth. And Frankly, it's no wonder guys like him get frustrated and move on. I'm not suggesting there is any type of "solution" because there really isn't outside of trying to keep members such as Kieth who may possibly attract people who do contribute. It's not about him, or me, or you..... but the guys that join and ask questions, but don't ever stop in and help others.... well, if guys like Kieth leave, who is going to answer the questions?? No one. Then the forum dies. So, I think your suggestion to just leave is well..... just plain thoughtless.
Thank you! As I read through this post, I was turning red with disgust. This is a forum for beginners and the knowledgeable as well. I have asked stupid questions, and I'm sure I will again? I try to answer the stupid ones, because that's all I know.
