Does any one else feel this way?--
I don't know your feelings, but I get tired of giving out advice and answers--especially to newbies--only to have no response back from them. I've been at this game for 40+years. I've paid my dues. When I started out, there was no internet. I read every book and periodical I could get my hands on. I wrote letters, and HOPED to get responses in return. I talked to the vets who used them (starting with my late father) and looked at every one I could handle. A lot of sleuthing and deducing was done by comparisons. I visited SANHS and asked questions.
I don't mind sharing the info IF some one is at least polite enough to give a quick "Thanks", but most seem to be too self-absorbed for a little acknowledgement and wonder why us old-timers stop visiting the M1 sites and coming forth with our collective knowledge. I'm kinda' at the point where I don't care to share the hard-gotten information any more and just take it to my grave.
Ok, rant over. Thanks guys.
