I think the "strange story" is jerry himself. he puts out this post and then won't explain what the hell he's talking about. Strange.

And how did flatheadman 2 come to be the prime suspect? He's young and full of questions, just the kind of guy that we all were at his age. The only thing I'd say to flatheadman2 is that politics and religion don't belong on this Forum.

I don't really pay attention to the odd questions as someone may learn from it. What I've noticed is the increased amount of crankiness in some. Gotta get those people back on thier meds!

I think our little community is getting bigger all the time . word is out and the fordbarn is the place to be . THE LAST THING I want is to loose some of the great talents we have on here ,because this web-site gets over-run with fruitcakes and ding-dongs ,both of which are great with a tall glass of milk,but they don,t belong here ! . sometimes you have to wade through the mud to get to the clear water ,befor you dunk your head .thats what I do ,,,,.Jerry ,your,re not the only one who has noticed some new frequent flyers on here dust piles up on an unused surfaces,just wipe them away. WOW I,m full of one liners today ! I love this site and don,t want it to change just my 5 cents mp

You're right, the fordbarn is becoming the place to be. The greatest attraction to this site, imho, is the unbelievable wealth of experience and knowledge, coupled with an unselfish willingness among this community to contribute solutions and assistance.

I’m strongly put off by those who seem to endlessly camp on the site, dominating threads, creating needless threads, and offering little value. This is exacerbated when these people ask questions that have previously been covered and for which answers can be easily found by using the search feature or by doing a little research through reading.

The past several days’ contributions by a nameless individual or two are enough to drive me away from this otherwise quality experience. I agree with you Mike. The LAST THING this site needs is fruit cakes and ding dongs. Maybe I'm getting too grumpy... And I've not been around this site long enough to bitch.

I don't mind being youthful and curious.... An average of 36 posts a day will cause people to ignore you.... I do imagine it is an age thing the way younger people are texting and face booking all the time. Oh crap... I just talked about younger people and included myself in the old bracket........

I don't think Jerry's post is strange. I agree that, even after watching and occasionaly posting for over 5+ yrs , some recent posts have been unusual. Many that belong on HAMB, and who wonders about a lot of these things before aquiring engine or car? And who needs to indicate education and religion? The advice on here is amazing and the atmosphere like old friends over coffee, no matter contributor background. The info on FordBarn is amazing and indicates knowledge beyond formal education!

Not that it's a huge issue - I have learned to skip posts by certain users - probably like people have learned to skip my inane posts!

I think the HAMB type posts over here tend to be people who don't like the shall we say atmosphere over there. I'm a semi younger womanizing beer drinking don't mind that's on the women sort and some of those guys still put me off.
