I am so accustomed to signing on the site, checking out new members, checking out who is on chat and then reading Forums and Blogs, that I failed to notice the "Rules of Engagement" which are now included at the top left of the main page. I am now aware of those Rules and have read each one and will, of course, abide by those rules. Having said that,let me go one further.
I am, and always have been, a person of very strong opinions. What I like, I like. What I dislike, I really dislike. There are few things that fall in the middle where I have luke warm opinions. Seems to me the "luke warm" option was even discussed in the Bible although I am not Bibical scholar enough to quote chapter and verse. Just as my unbounded enthusiasm for certain things causes me to write or speak to an extreme, so does my dislike or disgust cause me to spout off just as badly. Ann has to get on my case at least three times a newscast in the evenings because I jump on something so hard when I don't like it. I am, I like to think, overall a positive person.
In any event, I am posting this Forum in the hope that others who have failed to notice the "Rules of Engagement" will take time to read those rules. Jeff did a really good job with the Rule Book and I think it's something by which we can all abide. I have, as I am sure many of you have, been members of sites/forums/chats, etc on other venues where name-calling and bashing is common place and gets far too personal. I was once, on a Yahoo Chatroom, called names I hope my grandkids never hear.
By now, most people here know I do not like D.W or Kyle Busch. Those are my personal feelings and I will refrain from future expressions of that dislike. I also get aggrevated with the current state of NASCAR, as Jeff addressed, but I will cease the name calling and work toward a positive statement about things we can do, as a website, to get the message across to NASCAR that all we want to do is help the organization return to the glory days which we all enjoyed so much. Or, perhaps, I just don't know enough to know when it's really good.
Ok, the whole point of this post is to get those who, like me, had not read the "Rules of Engagement" to do so and govern your posts accordingly.

What a change! It's been awhile since I've checked in and I'm quite surprised. It may take me awhile to figure it our but first look it's really great.
