I am a member over there as well. And as soon as i saw the pics in that thread i didnt reply or anything and havent even gone back to it because i was anticipating a flame war over the way it was done.... And yes i have stopped posting as much over there because everyone seems to be on edge and some people think everything should be done their way... I think that everyone being on edge might be from "Cabin Fever" being snowed in or not being able to work on their cars or do anything during the winter but sit on a computer... Also yes i do think there are alot of "young" know it all kids but there are some of us that are not. My $.02 if it matters, lol

I watched and participated in some of the discussions that went on last night at pt.com. There is far more diversity of cars and people there compared to Lateral-g, and that's good. Many of us here are of the same age, background, and are building similar cars. There is less diversity of thought here, leading to more consensus and less controversy.

That's not necessarily always going to be the case, and frankly, shouldn't be the goal of this site, unless we plan on denying membership and reining in alternate ways of building cars and expressing oneself doing so.

So, yeah, it can be a bit rough-and-tumble over there. Kinda like going to public school: everyone is invited. I think this site will suffer over the long term if we take the view of a private school: only like-thinking individuals need apply.

I like both sites, and visit them both daily. Scott, Jody: keep up the great work!

Wow, this post got legs while I was home last night. I appreciate any car that someone has put a lot of time and work in and I know that not everyone can build a high end car. Although I would not pro tour a mini-van, I cannot wait to see it when it is finished. My orginal statement was more from a communication and behavior standpoint. I would say that was a fair statement in making the comparison to public and private schools, but not from a diversity standpoint, more of a respect and behavior attitude.

The secret to great pancakes is the vanilla.

You gotta step up the vanilla in the recipe. The vanilla just makes the pancake in my humble opinion.

Hadn't heard about vanilla.

I always thought butter was the missing ingredient. Many people eat pancakes with just syrup and leave out the butter. That's just wrong. You gotta have butter.

I'll run the vanilla hint past my pancake maker.

John....it also works for chocolate chip cookies too. Apparantly, this is the secret to Mrs. Fields Cookies.

And I agree with the butter thing. Butter makes everything better.

Hell, I'd eat dirt if it had butter on it.

It's cinnamon butter for me.............

I participate in both sites and like the diversity. All the opinions merely support why we have bell curves for the distribution of anything, including opinions! Even pancake ingredients.
