" I quit reading the rec.xxx newsgroups years ago because of all the junk that went on. Vandeman was one of the nuts chewing up the bandwidth back then. I'm shocked to hear he is still out there. There are some real nuts who have no life...... You would think they would run out of gas and go away. I used to read a JFK newsgroup. I wonder if the same people are still out there arguing..... 8-) What is suprising is that there GREAT places on the Internet with wonderful and informed people. And as I think about it, they are moderated at some level. Since I bought some land last year I have spent all my free time working on the property. A great deal of my online time is on www.tractorbynet.com. The site has a great deal of good information about tractors and rural living. TBN has saved me lots of time and money. I can't believe how much I have learned and continue to learn at that site. Its like Paddlewise, there is just a great wealth of information and the people are civil and mature. Its refreshing instead of depressing. 8-) I'm glad everyone at Paddlewise can play well in our SandBox or would that be PaddleBox. 8-) Later....
