AND....he manages to make the 1100 look rather tiny, doesn't he. :blink:Santa rides a Ducati! :yahoo:
I completely understand, Fred. We (The FJR Forum) have earned that reputation. It's all too easy for some to type ascerbic and less-than-helpful responses. We sometimes forget how overwhelming it is to learn the ropes here and access the information that is available if one knows HOW to find an answer. And, like schoolyard bullies, once someone is down others join in the "fun"....or is that a shark feeding-frenzy at the expense of an innocent new member.My reply above was meant only in a completely generic sense and (definitely) not in regard to the flame thrower daddyg in this thread.
We do have a (somewhat deserved) reputation for jumping on newbs posting NEPRT questions with the SY (Search Yourself!) and RTFR! (Read the Farking Rules!) responses. This guy, OTOH, was just waiting in the wings to whip that reputation out to shake things up, since nobody actually told the OP that.
Daddyg was probably run over by a freight train of less-than-helpful or oblivious members and still hurts from the experience. I think we forum members do much more harm than good in our rush to be humorous, or the first to be pointless. Thankfully I was treated with a bit more respect and the owners were much more gentile and helpful when I first joined the "green room" in '03 while waiting for my FJR to arrive (for those who remember and/or participated in the PDP).
