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

[Herb Metz]

Al; agreed.  I spend more time on allischalmers.com because I am looking for 
Allis G or D14 tech info or wanting to share my (limited) knowledge about 
Allis G's with some new enthusiast, or looking for a good deal on a G or 
some G equipment.  Threads are stolen there also.   My opinion is this 
occurs because we do not read the title, but just the text, and when we hit 
"reply", the old title automatically pops up.
Today many of us go to tractor shows to fellowship with long established 
antique tractor friends moreso than to buy/sell or repair tractors.  Similar 
reasoning applies to our internet communications.

I think that is the biggest reason.  I myself spend a lot of my free 
internet time on farmallcub.com and redpowermagazine.com.
