Hey Huckleberry (etc), at least I have made positive suggestions for meaningful changes to increase participation.
Nobody can deny I have a track record of that myself.
Jerry
Well, they could :)
Too bad any positive suggestions you may have made have been buried under a flood of vitriolic attacks on TRA/NAR and endless unrealistic demands revolving around getting your illegal motors certified.
How about cutting down on the number of posts where you just post: Point. Or some other such pithy rejoinder. It's extremely annoying. Like the whole f'ing universe is supposed to care what Jerry Irvine thinks of someone else's post. I know your impossibly towering ego will have a really hard time with this, but TRY.
On rmr pithy is a feature. Also anything at all positive is most welcome.
Major snips. For pith.
Those are not vitrolic attacks.
They are on-topic examples of bad policies and practices.
You never quite got that. I understand, being a lackey and all.
For an INTERNATIONAL organization with fewer than 3500 active members worldwide.
Yes worldwide.
Jerry
Maybe, but I just get pithed off...
David Erbas-White
Better than pithed on. ; )

At least when you make your point(less) posts, snip 98% or the re-re-re-posted text.
This goes for others too. Top posting sucks. Posting a one line response with NO textual context sucks more. Remember, news doesn't come in sequentially, so your post has no context. But that doesn't mean you need to post 100 lines of the thread to add 2 lines of your own.
Once upon a time, newsreaders across the net were set up to reject posts that were less than 50% new content. Ah, the good old days. Before SPAM, before phishing, before massive trolls, before Dinky.
Huh? What's top posting? What I am doing now? If so, I don't think it sucks, I think it's better then searching for the posters post at the bottom of 6 pages of reposted...umm...posts! ;)

From memory:
When John Henry was a little baby (ba-a-by) Sittin' on his daddy's knee He picked up a hammer and a little piece of steel And said "a goo goo gah goo gah goo"
He's just a little baby....
