[DMCForum] Why I like this forum

["twinenginedmc12" <twinenginedmc12@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I like this forum.

While Martin was away at robot camp, this list got really boring.  
I'm so glad he's back, and that Bill and Martin are having their 
unresolvable and very entertaining conversations.  I'm amazed how 
civil they keep it, and how thoroughly they manage to disagree.  It's 
the best reason to read this forum, and if you disagree, well you're 
wrong. <<(pointless antagonism to provoke a response)  

Of course I'm grateful too for Jim Strickland, who's always on duty, 
ready to prod the contestants back into action with a silly comment 
if they get tired of fighting.  It must take a lot of skill to know 
just what to say to get a response, without coming across as 
deliberately antagonistic.  I admire that.  

I feel guilty for lurking around enjoying this forum without 
contributing any content, sometimes.  I'm tempted to join in, but I 
fear confrontation, and I'd probably end up on both sides of the 
argument anyway, debating with myself, which would mean I'd be 
arguing with an idiot.

And the recent talk about horsepower and torque, now THAT's 
entertainment!  Who knew that physics could be such fun!  And why the 
hell do people still use the word "horsepower" anyway?  The metric 
system is the only reasonable way of measuring anything <<(pointless 
antagonism to provoke a response)  

This forum rocks!  

It rocks!  Bring on the spall!  (Jack Black's greasy nerdy character, 
in "the Jackal")
