Quote from Mountainman:

"My appologies Dnkldorf, I do not see were I said ""select" few," As other trade sites do you have to be licenced tradesman to enter certain boards were they can discuss issues like trouble shooting. The rest of your post is beneath me to comment on. Have a nice day!"

I do not post here very often but found this thread interesting. Yes, invitation only areas do exist in other forums. Their very existance created as a way for invited members to openly discuss what they would not post in an open forum and also as a means to keep certain undesirable, troublesome, bothersome, grating, irritating, obnoxious, quarrelsome, don't "get it" members out. Very effective for both reasons.

Anyway, Good site over here.
