Chris,
1- These talks are no less valuable than your talk of valet parking Corvette.
2- I don't read half or 1/3 of the posts, because I am not interetsed in those topics, but I don't barge in to stop them from talking.
3- I am sure many members glanced at these posts and moved on.
4- Every post is a contribution to the Hummer forum, if you don't believe me, take a look at H2Fanatic site and see how pathetic that site is.
5- Non-technical BS posts can generate far more responses that dry technical posts, and these are the posts which build and bond friendship, which is what glue us together. I certainly do not really need to know any more about tires and supercharger, I can be just as Hummer happy without ever visit this forum again.
6- Smart people disagree, idiots always agree. Disagreements and controversies stimulate the mind and livens up the forum.
7- The bottomline, the success of survival of this forum depend on the posts, more the better, whethere it is about you parking other people's fancy cars or how cheap Ed is.
Ed. just remember I tipped the valet $2 at the country club where the drink is $5-$7 + tip, and it was not my $2. Now try to beat me on that. Dare to give $1 valet tip?
