I bought a good Trojan 20 off there, but then posters attacked classified ads so much, sellers just went elsewhere.

Exactly. Far too many "experts" who really don't know a fraction of what they think they know. There are some very knowledgable fellows but they are getting harder and harder to find.

I get on the (misfits) misfires section every once awhile just for the pure entertainment of it. I like to read the posts and after that it puts my life in better perspective. Thomas

I never understood why the for sale forum was allowed to degenerate into what has become? There's a fee for selling on there and I know running that site can't be free. I'd never post anything for sale and most folks I know wouldn't either. It's not that I have any fear of those idiots, it's just that I'd hate to send my $10 to somebody who won't take control of something that could be such a great asset to the hobby. If half a dozen posters were banned from the site it could become so much more and maybe some of the folks who were actually interesting might come back. So weird......

Destry, I know that Dave has banned a couple of troublemakers, but only after some over the top bad behavior. The worst offender is back on there but doesn't post very often.

Three guys gone would settle that site down in a big way. I just don't get it.....

There is one of our rejects over there and he has a terminal case of diarrhea of the mouth. Some things just never change. I very seldom look at that site.

The worst to me are the nutjobs who continually bring the "misfires" crap over to the main forum.
