Walt probably summed it up best with: We're here to help each other.

On that note, in the future don't expect help from a number of highly qualified professionals on this site when you treat any one of us that way. Good luck with your scratches.

Oh never mind, not worth it. Its easy to misinterpret something.

My opinion, this thread has several negative attributes that are not in the best interest of this forum. Worst of those attributes is the message that a member has taken it upon himself to speak for others, while declaring an unsubstantiated level of value to the forum, and threatening retribution through withholding of assistance in the future by this subset of members.

I believe this is a group for individuals who want to participate in mutual help for all Hatteras owners and even a few other brand owners that are interested in the content. There are no subgroups, no tiers of membership, no threatening of other members with withholding information. All members are equal, no member owns this forum, and if they have a problem, free to withdraw.

Further, mutual respect and professional levels of communication will sustain us. Attaching other members serves no useful purpose.

Steady as she goes.

May I add:

"Full Speed Ahead"

Or in my case...Hull Speed Ahead. Most of the time!

Good post Pete I'm sure lots of people have been ran off in the past.

Ahhhh Pete. Once again, your comprehension skills need work and you're attributing things that were never said.

Since you are correct that attacking other members serves no useful purpose, Tommy B's response to boatsb's comment was uncalled for. As Finalee stated it could have be a misinterpretation and could be corrected with an explanation as such. However, since the comment is several weeks old now it appears unlikely that one is forthcoming.

I didn't "threaten" anybody. I didn't claim to speak for others. I didn't call for a tech support boycott nor any of the other things that you have fabricated. It was simply an admonition that people who have been here for a while know and, as you say, mutually support one another. So if someone is going to attack and disrespect a member they really can't expect other people to jump in to help them in the future.

[Pete]

Avenger, my prior attempts at communications with you lead me to conclude that a specific response to your posting will not accomplish anything positive. I therefore will leave our prior posts to speak for themselves.

Pete

[Avenger]

Indeed. The fact that you didn't bother to call out the original attack but chose to lecture me instead speaks volumes.
