    Germ, I'm not disagreeing with you, because you have misunderstood my intentions. I'm into the same kind of stuff you are, not billet. Again, I didnt "want" anything from anybody. Just hoped to see the site go somewhere other than where you expect it to go. I dont want to see any tech site that looks like a billet-pushin mag.

    Thanks Merc, I'm glad somebody knows me and what I really am.

    AS of this morning, I'm off the project anyway. The site has been turned over to another developer. Again, not my choice, but I think I stirred too much***** trying to keep it a real tech site and not, as James put it, "how to's on installing the lastest $1,200 chunk of billet". I'm out of the picture as far as what its going to be.

    For you that keep crawlin me, I know that you did not understand where I was at in this. For the last time, I wanted HAMBers to have a part in it only to keep it from being overrun by the other stuff that you and I dont like. I wasnt poaching or whatever else I have been accused of. I wasnt trying to take material or members away from this group. THis is the only group of fellas that I know who have (and are not afraid to voice) a traditional opinion so this is where I came looking.
    Sorry I failed in getting that voice heard.

    Ray, as long as I got your attention I need a shipping cost for those bumpers. Id like to get them here in time to bury under the snow [​IMG]

    Those wire wheels I got from you turned out great. I straightened them, blasted and painted. They were donated to a friend who is using them on a parade float that also doubles as a Halloween hayride wagon. No high speed balance required [​IMG]

    And dont feel bad, I never heard of Mike Bishop either before I joined HAMB. I dont waste a bunch of money on magazines or books that pretty much recyle stuff that was written decades ago (I have an extensive collection of books and mags going back into the late 40's) so it is easy to miss some authors. The HAMB is so far superior for tech stuff that the mags arent even in the running.

    Title of Ironhunter's original post:

    Articles wanted for WebRodder.com, HAMBer input a must!


    'Recent' quote from Ironhunter:

    Again, I didnt "want" anything from anybody.



    sounds a little contradictory to me...regardless of 'intent'...




    Like Germ said...and I agree...

    Instead of 'contributing' to yet another website,
    everybody who has a good tech article, get off yer****,
    write it up, add pictures, and submit it for the HAMB..!!

    i am with you on that,, i guess i just havent seen much happening in the tech dept of the hamb, but then again i havent checked there for a while,, my fault ..

    i like the idea of a fully developed tech section,, and i would be more that willing to submit some stuff.

    guess i will check the hamb tech section, and see whats up..

    yes, write it up and contribute it to the HAMB. I never said anything to contradict that. Why is it not fair ti think that a tech article can be contributed to more than one place?

    Contradictory? Well, you take what you read and make it what you want it to say. it is contradictory in the pre-conceived context that some have, thinking I want somthing for nothing. In the context of what I was trying to do, theres no contradiction.

    How many ways can I say it? Input was a "must" in my opinion to keep the site from falling of the billet cliff. Sure, I "wanted" material, but not for my benefit. I'm with you guys 100% in trying to keep the traditional voice from being drowned out. Maybe I went about it all wrong, yah, I'm sure now I did by asking this group to help me (us) keep a voice in the site. If you want to support only one site, for Gods sake support the HAMB! I never said anything contrary to that. If you want to support our ideas and style of vehicle, it might be a good idea to get out of your little box. The other sites are what they are because of "who" contributes to them. I (we) had a chance to make a difference.

    Anyway, the subject is dead...deceased..over. Like I have already said, I've been removed and replaced from the project. There's really no more reason for this thread to go on.
