[Farmall] Posting Requests

[keith murphy]

Hi,
   
  I have posted a few times and have always received some great insight.  I love mechanical things and old tractors just trip my trigger. You folks have helped unbeleivably as I have struggled getting my 1941 IH Model H ready to lug around that 6 foot bush hog to mow my 30 acre farm.  I have a different job and that to me is one of my best days, just me and the tractor cutting the fields...  I live in Florida and have also been using the tractor to pull out Palmetto bushes...  Too much fun!
   
   In terms of proper postings, I agree with James - I just delete them.  For all the great things I have learned, a stray thread here or there is a small price to pay in my mind.  
   
  Hope you can receive this in the spirit it was delivered in and I hope everyone has a happy RED Christmas!!!  
   
  Regards,
  Keith

OK, that is fine. However, as far as my recollections go, nobody was offering up brownie recipes or suggesting a lively debate over the contrasted attributes of 2003 -v- 2004 White Zins. The material seemed to invariably gravitate to machinery and the products/things that allow them to (actually) be useful machinery.
I did not witness any of these sensitized souls insisting that groups cease and desist when it came to paying tribute to a recently departed member (name I can't recall, sorry).
There is a point here that, apparently, chooses to disguise itself. There are methods to categorize input (e.g., place into applicable files) so that those interested in "old style nets/bolts" or "oil weight options" can filter and pinpoint such search interests. Of course, the onerous responsibility of such categorization largely falls to a moderator who, I am just guessing here, has a life of his or her own.
Between outrage over having to sift through a few "errant" emails and the suggestion that "offing" gasoline thieves is in the national best interest, I am beginning to wonder....

front - the crops are all in, the shows are all memories, but the snow 
hasn't started to fall (except up in Northern NY and MN), so the 
conversations tend to wander a little. After a while, Spencer or someone 
will jump in and suggest we get back "on track". As long as we keep it 
civil and don't get into politics, religion, or that kind of thing, it 
gives us an excuse not to have to put up Xmas decorations. :-)
