You also bring up some very good points Red...and I think we agree on whats most important...community.
My pride of ownership statement wasnt directed at anyone person(s). I was just saying that..one dosent have to build/wear a franken.. If you will...to have pride In there rep or this hobby...as It were.
The reason I say that Red .... some will feel Inferior to those who have the time/talent/desire/money and expertise to engage In such undertakings. I feel that this can...at times... alienate members.
I for one have always appericated the fantastic mods that are members do on there reps...I always will. I hope to take on a project soon myself...I always thought it would be a pam..but there getting so good now I might have to look elsewhere.. I also feel that the longer a member sticks around here the more he will desire something more special/unique
I just want the new guy..or not so new guy..to know that he is as welcomed here as anyone else....reguardless of his personal preferences or level of enthusiasm.
