Brent, I'm sure Randy and I share similiar thoughts. I've experienced those moments myself. I'm an extremely aged cancer patient. I've been considered terminally ill for roughly 3 years and fighting it for 17 more years. Right now, I'm experiencing the most continuous physical pain I've had in 20 years. My days going to the track to watch the driving studs are pretty much over.

I feel like the "family" atmosphere or whatever you want to call it, that created many of my early friendships is no longer present on IOW.

A couple weeks ago and for the first time since I've owned this site I looked into when/how I could shutdown IOW. I recognize the problems. I wish the solutions were as easy as deleteing posts, banning members or enforcing rules but they're not. People have to choose useful information over useless info and they must want the friendly atmosphere. If they don't want it ... It won't happen.

It's seems to me people would much rather live in their own little world. For the most part message boards expose people to a wide variety of thoughts and opinions. Some are obviously moronic but that is part of it. If people want useful information they must be willing to correct people or contact me when they think something needs changed.

Do you want to guess how many reported posts I've had in the last 2 years. Other than spammers... You can count them using 2 hands. 2 years.

For now, I've provided the platform... If you use it right it can be useful.
