Very true statement Sir, ....and many of the ones that researched the correct knowledge to offer, --or truly have/had the actual hands-on experience to offer no longer press that reply button here for many of the reasons posted above.
If my math is correct Sir, you have been a member here all of about 8 months. Many of us have been here for 8 years, --and much has changed here during that time. Adding to that, a few of us were here on Fordbarn some 8 years prior to the beginning of the present format, and we remember what the old Fordbarn was about. The respect and the topics back then were much superior than what is found here today. Personally I find that sad. And more to the direct point, the original Fordbarn, --and even the beginning of the present Fordbarn used to be focused on correct restoration. Now anything goes.
So the irony is that 10 years ago, someone could say 'check the Judging Standards', and nearly all of the readership did just that much like a Preacher preaching to his congregation and referencing scripture, the congregation turns in their Bibles to read that passage for themselves. You could tell people were doing that because people would post in the thread about what they read and ask questions relating to what they just read Now it seems like hobbyists really are not that interested in learning to do something correctly, --or just learning in general, but instead they seemingly just do whatever it takes to get by and on to other things.
