Default Commendations to you all!!

Just wanted to say how much of a pleasure it is to moderate the C1/C2 sections. While we all have differences of opinion the folks here somehow seem to know that the knowledge base of our guys & gals is at different levels and we simply work thru it. The kindness you show the new ones with the 'same old questions' is duly noted. Flame wars are non-existent here. Try going to off-topic or political or some other sections here and you will know what I mean. Those moderators get a work out!! Again, thank you, you make my small part here a pleasure. :cheers:

Dave,

Glad we make things easy for you. :lol: I guess we must be the more "gentile" group. :D I'm sure it has nothing to do with our ages though. :rolleyes:

Thanks for your help as well. :thumbs:

And thanks to YOU, and ALL the other moderators. Though the time and effort that you guys give may not be always recognized, your contribution to our forum has helped to make it what it is (great!!) and will help it to be what it will become.

I agree, I have explored other sections and have posted a few comments in off topic but that is like running your head into a brick wall.

The C1/C2 section bar far on the Internet is one of my favorite places to come for mental nourishment. I would like a secret off topic or political section that was just for us here. I think there are some great minds here and that there is allot more to you guys then our common denominator of the vettes.

Couldn't agree more. I also have a Mopar and have spent time on the MOPARTS forum for several years. I just started spending time on this a few months ago even though I've had Corvettes for 22 years. I've been pleased at how much hands-on type repair and resto stuff gets discussed on this board and how much help gets provided to Corvette owners. There isn't as much personal and off-topic stuff on this forum as others. :thumbs:

If y'all keep this up about Dave being such a great moderator, he's going to be asking for a pay raise! :jester

Letsee ... If he got a 10 percent pay raise that would be .... 0*1.10=0

Nevermind! Better keep reminding him what a great job he does for all of us!

Thanks for everything you do, Dave! :cheers:

Maybe that's because we're just too damn old to raise hell!

Well, maybe because we drive the original Vettes. Anyone can buy a new one without any history. I feel we belong to the dinosarus as Iv`e been driving them so long. What I don`t like is the Vette stays the same, but the guy crawling into it keeps getting older and older. The Vette is my alter ego {Dorion Gray} all covered up. These statements probably only apply to a few on the forum, but is a nice forum. Thanks to you all and the moderator. party: :cheers:

A lot of truth in these posts.

Average age is no doubt higher than other forums
We likely have more AARP members
Age tempers arrogance of youth
Wisdom increases with age
Many were part of the original hot rod movement when innovation, creativity, & greasy hands shaped the hobby.
We still love to work on our cars or just don't know any better.

I think that we also appreciate a time when you had to be actively involved in the driving experience. "Man and Machine" with raw power, noise, and wind in your face performance. :steering:

And we just plain don't want to turn loose of our youth! :cheers:

Its a great forum and we have the BEST moderators
Thanks to you all!!! :yesnod:

YEAH - mebbe so - BUT I was (somewhat) young when I bought mine ;) The only GOOD thing when I was 60 years old was to be able to say (about the Vette): "I've had it half my life!". Soon (5/17) I'll be celebrating my 36th year of ownership :cool: and - on the same date - my 13th wedding anniversary :thumbs:
