It's definitely out there, Russell. In spades. And helped by this forum.

i feel im butting in a bit, but, the suggestion of chassis and flex was mearly a suggestion for a topic, an example, not saying it needs to be discussed, a suggestion, which i was for of viking being the one to do the topics, was only also a suggestion, its got a bit uptight in here, maily due to suggestions, personally i think the 2cv school idea is great. Someone needs to be incharge, and the suggestion was viking. This doesnt mean to say that he is going to be writing all the posts, simply moderating them. i think people got the wrong idea of that suggestion maybe? just cos a bastard is in charge of it, doesnt mean you cant do one, surely?
From my point of view, the 4 behind this website should be proud of it, and the users in it, however out of hand we all get sometimes, we all do it at some point,
so what do i think is next? maybe we should all apollogise to each other, as biccuring is going to destroy this golden dust of a forum, and we are the only ones who will loose out, sorta pissing into the wind, shooting your own team down type thing. we all knock (well the experts on here) all knock there heads together to help each other, and damsels in destress, you always come up with a solution, so why all fall out over a bit of silly biccuring??

i accept any critism for posting this,
and apollogise if ive provoked this in any way,

i must add, were as mentioned 2cv'ers, all one big family in a sense so we shouldnt argue amongst ourselves!!!

Here's a funny thought. Earlier this week somebody rang me up and basically told me this website was brilliant and was one of the most useful sites he'd come across etc etc. It was one of the first times I've felt proud of it actually. Should have known better than to feel like that, as it's only taken a couple of days and one thread to make me feel it's a waste of everybodys f@cling time. Reading this makes me wonder why we bother paying for it actually. I'm half tempted to lock the entire forum for a couple of weeks until the four of us can figure out how to deal with this kind of senseless infighting.

Look at the big picture. I'm ashamed. Thanks.

Not sure why you think like this Russell. It is a "brilliant" web site because of the very varied contributions on it. The fact that there are disagreements and contentious issues debated adds to it.
If everyone agreed with everything there would be nothing to write about and it would be very dull indeed.

Seems to be in the nature of internet forums, sadly.
