Strange posts
 

I seem to notice some very strange stories on here for several days. I think that someone (several) is pulling our chain! And they are pretty good at it.

I'm tryin to plan out what I'm goin to do, I have my elderly grandparents and our farm to take care of, I restored my 1944 Willys MB jeep, I'm not much on the Flathead as far as getting the valve train and gears out but bearings and rings heads I can put in. I'm takin care of my grandparents now with our farm and cattle, I cant do the car right away I got out of HS three years ago and taking care of grandparents and the farm since Been hard to find a job. But I have a dream and not gonna hold back, it'll take a while but I'll do it, I'm gonna look at two engines and see what they look like. I'm not tryin to make enimes or pull chains just explaining what I been through, I'm a really good guy once ya get to know me. I'll pray for everybody I met and new friends I'll meet in the future. Hope your not mad at me sir. Love JD. God Bless. Jesus is king.

I see it too Jerry. Several new posters within the last week but they seem to be genuine (except for a couple obvious spams). Maybe just a surge of new folks. If you're referring to Flathead man2, I can kind'a relate. I've been a hot rod nut since I was 8-years old. When my dad bought me my '41 Ford pickup in 1980 when I was 17 I couldn't get enough flathead information to satisfy me. I wiped out the local library and started ordering mail-order books.

Imagine if my first choice of information was the internet. Where would I go?

Mr. Grayson
I have had the same thoughts lately myself. Just can't seem to put my finger on it, but something is different. Charles

There were a few members who had checked out my profile who had no posts but who had been members for months. There is one on my profile tally presently. There were a few non posting profile peekers a few weeks ago too. Not sure what to make of it.

I wouldn't worry about the profile checking. I think I looked at profiles when I first started too. that is the way to get to peoples albums to see what cars they have and to look at what threads they posted on. Kinda a good way to quickly see who is imparting wisdom on cars like yours to to get a feel for people..

I look at them too; I really enjoy looking at the photos the members post of their cars. But several weeks ago there were a few who had been on for many months and still had no posts. Not worried just something I noticed.

I really enjoy FordBarn and try and read as much as I can on V-8 and Model A forums. I have met some good people on FordBarn and have purchased several good parts from FordBarn folks. A great place on the internet. TM

The ones who haven't posted are probably doing the research the correct way, through the SEARCH function. I know we also have an overactive poster. Youthful exuberance.

Now just because we can't trust our government officials much anymore, we are overrun by illegal aliens and some little dictator in NK want to bomb the snot out of us if he could, that is no reason to get all paranoid. lol
