lost in h.a.m.b.land

I have tried at least six times to post on your board, and I never find what I posted. What I do find is a lot of stuff dated 2005. FYI I am writing this in 2008. Today I looked on the site for the section where people post their questions and I see two very prominent things.

1. There is a huge percentage of posts from people who do not understand how the site works or find the site defeating them when they try once, twice, or more to make some sense out of it so they can make use of the site and perhaps make a contribution. I see nothing wrong with people getting frustrated and venting their frustration, although I do think that they must be as frustrated as I am when they resort to some pretty strong language. However as familiar and eloquent as I am with strong language, I try to reserve it for people who use it unnecessarily or mean-spiritedly.

2. There are plenty of that type of people on this site and they all seem to be people who by reason of the length of time they have had to figure out this incredibly difficult site that seems loaded with land mines at every dip in the road, or by reason of the fact that they have an obvious need to belittle others (and there seems to be a high percentage of such folks on this site) or by reason of their possible ownership of really cool iron and think, (as do many I have seen in car shows) that such ownership comes with the right to **** all over the poor guys who dont have the iron, or who dont have the computer savvy, or are simply admitting some weakness that this type of person loves to pounce upon and thus make themselves feel superior.

COOL IT, all you vultures! Maybe you need to spend some time elsewhere on the net where sites work seamlessly and easily and clearly instead of indicating to all that you probably have never been on another site and think that this HAMBurger hash of a site is the way they all are.

Honestly, I have never seen such a confusing, poorly designed and poorly managed site in my years on the Net. But I do not own a hotrod, so of course my opinion does not count. I am just a lowly guy with nothing more to my credit than I made good friends with Von Dutch without kissing his ***, and with Steve McQueen when I photographed his stuff that he had Dutch make for him, and then I put it in my book that people really like. But since I do not own a hot rod and own a little foreign iron, you will surely feel justified to jump all over my sorry *** for being critical of what seems to be a high percentage of people using this board who are a few wing nuts short of a well adjusted at***ude and totally lacking in anything remotely resembling style or cl***.

So to all you guys who are civilized, I express my thanks and my wish that I could have found a way to get something out of and hopefully contribute something to this site after spending at least ten hours trying. And to all you sociopaths or Neanderthals with nitro in your adrenal glands, I say - chill it on the newbies.

As for me - I'm outa here! Who needs the aggravation!?
