[AT] Best of ATIS? ---The D8 story

[charlie hill]

Steve there was one other factor too.  At some point it seemed like we had 
answered all the tractor  questions.  Folks stopped writing to find out 
something they couldn't
learn elsewhere.  Also, and I might get some flack for this,  I think when 
the list got split up into Farmall and Cub and whatever it hurt the overall 
list.  I guess it was
necessary but I was sorry to see it.

Yep I remember those times. Miss many of the folks who told the stories
as well. Some simply moved on to other things when the tractor hobby
started going the same way as classic cars with people suddenly thinking
they had solid gold. Others left when the Lord called them to his side.
Learned many things from those days, some of which you can even talk
about in mixed company !!!!
