greenmachine 52 Posted April 26, 2010 I have my own conspiracy theory. I have listed items for sale from time to time. I get a lot of email questions most of them are from people just registering that day. I think these people do not want the buyer to know that they are already board members that are asking questions, sometimes these questions, the answers should be known by a more seasoned member. I think the new member ID is just used to protect the identity of the more seasoned member. grerenie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

signguyjohn 0 Posted May 3, 2010 I lurk almost every day . I can't say for the others) but I feel that most of what I do is basic things that others are already doing, so there is no advantage for posting other than increasing my post count. I would like to post things that are beneficial to others. I will in the future try to post more, because this is a great forum with some very helpful people. Thanks to everyone for making this forum what it is and to the regulars that put more than their share of time in to help others. It is great to see there are still people in this world that are not afraid to tell what they know to help others. Thanks everyone John Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
