Actually, even though I got what I feel was an underserved vacation, I do have multiple accounts on this site and the others I visit. Because I have a floating VPN, my IP address changes all the time so if I use a different user name, viola, I have another account. Real simple but, I prefer to use my primary account on all the sites I visit so I just read posts and stayed in the imposed 'cooler. no big deal. Interestingly, you cannot reply to the moderator, his decisions are law with no recourse what so ever. This is a 100% voluntary to comment forum.
I am a bit miffed about one thing and that is, when I became a paid subscriber a few years back, I was promised a number of 'gifts' for becoming a paid subscriber. None of those have ever materialized. Don't expect them to magically appear either. Just empty words from the forum owner.
I will (and have done 2 things). One, I will never post on any off topic sub forum again because of what I feel is discriminatory and capricious moderation.. I know the moderator on here don't like me. I don't really care actually, I don't sleep with him nor do I care at all bout what his motivations are so if I don't comment on any 'off topic' thread, that eliminates that issue entirely.
Secondly, as much as I disdain putting any poster on ignore. I have also done that. That way I don't see their callous remarks unless I choose to see them. Makes reading them 100% my choice. I like choices.
I've owned many Kubota tractors since the early 2000's, I believe at least 10 now, not including the 2 M9's I presently own and I've been through a lot of issues in that time so if I see something I can contribute too, I do and will continue to do just that.
I do heavy fabrication in my shop and field repairs in the field with my gas driven welder too. In fact, my side yard is pretty full of implements in need of repair and a few larger excavation buckets from large earthmoving equipment that need various parts replaced, I'm always way more busy than I want to be but it is a good revenue producer where as farming can be or might not be, depending on the weather.
I'm here but at this juncture I will be very discriminatory about what I reply to and just as important, I'll ignore the snitches and whiners. Don't have the inclination to deal with it anymore.
I like sharing my learned knowledge and learning from other's experiences as well. Always have. Why I'm on a few different and diverse forums in the first place.
Where I'm at presently.
