I may be missing something here.
I am an antique car man as well as a SxS lover. It is entirely possible that I would have mentioned something car of days gone by in a thread in order to make a point.
Sorry, but I don't remember trashing any thread. If so, it was not intentional and will be the first to kick my own butt when it is pointed out.
I learned long ago that it is usually best to laugh at myself. Especially if everyone else is laughing at me over a faux pas or a foolish mistake. Or even an ignorant one.
I think the happiest man is one that can roar with laughter at himself.
My sig line on another BBS is: Work like you don't need the money, love like you've never been hurt, and dance like you do when nobody's watching. Life is short. Make it mean something.
Best,
John
