Question for the collective

[greekz]

I do not mind the question asking, items to sell, or wanted to buy.  Many folks have learned a lot from the questions that have been asked and if I know an answer, I will chime in unless someone else beats me to it.  The Forum has provided me helpful information, which I have used to correct items on my car that were done incorrectly when I restored my car back in 1990.

You may be referring to me but, let me explain.
After reading about Cobras, I saw my first Cobra (CSX 2313) on the streets of Madison, WI in 1965. I became friends with the original owner within a couple of months. In 1972 I purchased 6S 1023 (Green/gold Hertz), followed by 6S 1314 (green with stripes), and 6S 1545 (red, no stripes). I joined SAAC in 1978 and was a member until about 2000 attending some National Conventions and many events at Road America and Watkins Glen. I saved anything and everything (except the cars!) that I thought had value related to Cobras and Shelbys.
I continued to buy and sell over the years and lately I'm selling. I'm in my 80's and rather than see the remaining items I have go in the dumpster I plan on posting them to sell on the Forum.
If someone finds value in them that will be great. If not, well I'll be the one to put them in the dumpster.

Yup...something funky with the permissions. I will troubleshoot it tonight

".......how others felt?"

I used to quite active on a couple automotive forums and a machinist forum.  My scope of fluency is pretty narrow.  But within that, can hold my own.  Early on, 20 years ago, I would go out of my way to address a legitimate, technical questions. Often making reference to academic text for further interest. Some I which I published.  In the past 5-10 years it seems younger participants post thoroughly discussed topics without first using the search function, creating redundant threads. In turn, seemingly countless fools will rush to contribute some cornball answer.  When confronted, use the excuse that the medium is a social site and they were prompting conversation among (pretend) friends.  Now better understand why so few people are entering the trades and car hobby.
