In years back,Gordon had a spells of discussion on this same type issue in the Power Wagon advertiser after a increase in the # of post 71' PW questions and letters.Gordon like Joe simply kept quite and let the subscribers voice their feelings and get them off their chest.Shortly everything would settle down and it was PW business as usual.I believe both this forum and the PWA were started with early to 71'PW's in mind with no intention of segregating any Dodge 4x4 owner from it. After folks explain how these places are their best source of info and helpful hints its very hard to begrudge them the forum space and reminds some of the way it use to be when early PW info was hard to come by and no one cared to help us poor PW owners.This PW page and the PWA have helped bring us all together for the the benefit of all PWs,early and late models. We should tolerate the free speech opinions of those who are not happy with a mixed forum as well as those who would mix old and new PW issues in this forum.Giving everyone the chance to air concerns and opinions is healthy for this forum.Humor,sarcasim,and insults should never be taken too personal,but taken with a grain of salt. Owning,using,and talking PWs should be a fun and happy experience, not a rivalry between old and new PWs.
