Greetings All,
I don't post a lot because I am still a growing and learning. But I read here all the time and have learned so much. My way of saying thanks for what I learn here is to be a member. I just renewed for another year to make sure I stay current. The money I pay in membership fees is minor compared to the money I have saved as I fix things myself with your help. Thanks one and all! You are a great group and I treasure being a part.

Thanks for the feedback (on behalf of those who post)! In the beginning, I was extracting info... now I pay it forward. Providing answers is not everybody's idea of a good time, but everybody has a different experience and perspective to contribute. Please feel free to join in, now that you have both to provide.

I am possibly violating one of my self imposed rules.
I try to offer advice when i likely have the answer/opinion. If someone has already offered my opinion, i rarely post just to say i agree.
I, too continue to absorb info here that is useful to me.

Don't know if I agree with that rule.

If a question has been asked and answered, and 5 or 10 more people chime in to say they have experienced the problem and fixed in the same way, it can give that user more comfort or confidence to tackle that particular job.

Of course you are free to post whenever you like. I'm simply pointing out that saying you agree can have benefit.

I couldn't agree more, this site has saved me a ton of money. Things I fixed myself i probably would not have attempted 10 years ago. If nothing else the confidence that others share, been there, done that sort of thing.
later, Bill

Avoiding the pop up ads alone is worth the money to me !!! And...... this is the best site on the web as far as I am concerned so I don't care who gets the money if it keeps it "on the air". Just my opinion.......

I too do not post a lot, but I read a lot and in doing so I have saved myself a considerable amount of money by putting what I learn to good use. I value education and believe that teachers should be rewarded for their efforts. There are a lot of great teachers on this forum, and I have not seen a post from any of them asking for more than they are willing to give. I pay my dues, not to pay anybody anything, but so I don't feel guilty for receiving all this information. Any other response from me would seem rather socialistic. Oh, and once in a while I even have something to say, if I think it needs it. Just my .02.

First, WELCOME to FTE!

Second, I wish to apologize on behalf of another member who trashed your thread. All posts by him, and in answer to him, have been removed.

More apologies to those whose posts I deleted, some of them were informative and funny.

Blackbeltdually, you've already been here 2 years, so you already know the real FTE. It's the members who contribute ideas and information that make this a great site. I wish you the best, and hope you carry on to continue the tradition that started this site, and have made it the best Ford Truck web site there is. Thanks!

Ditto what Art said.

This is a great site with many active and helpful members. I often move threads out of the Super Duty forum to this and other diesel specific forums simply because I know I can count on the folks here to jump in and help out as soon as the thread lands here.

Thanks to all of you for all you contribute to the site and membership. After all, FTE would not be what it is without the membership we have.

Hat tip to all of you.
