Great writing and I understand the point. But helping is still the key. When
I see someone ask a question and 15 people reply with the same helpful
answer, or Steve post a pkg, man it seems like all is right in the world.
But then we get the every now and then drive by shooting. Then the list goes
crazy for a few days while everyone gets caught up on the post. Sorry to
string this out, but I got a little PO myself when I say the Flame Back.

Still great history lesson!!
