Here's some of the negative feedback you've no doubt braced yourself for. But the original comment was politely-worded and focused and I'll try to do the same. I'm sure words to this effect have been said before...probably by Norm!!(ha!)...but here's my take on it.
What Joe has put together here is a gathering of Power Wagon "people" which is a very different thing than just focused discussion of Power Wagons. What's a Power Wagon-person? I dunno, but a some common characteristics seem to be a real love for these old trucks, a "can-do" attitude, and the decided inability to have a conversation focused on just one thing.
Apparently some Power Wagon-people have questions and interests in various stuff, ranging from the weather and troop movements to mogs and first series dsl trucks. There is a wealth of experience here that would be wasted by fanatical focus. Make this place as dry as a reference book and you'd lose half the people here who share their knowledge of Dodges, and any other subject that comes up, freely.
I don't think your later "gay bar" reference works. If we're comparing bars to websites, your comment would be like someone complaining about people in a sports bar discussing something other than sports...
Anyway, this forum is not a bar of any sort, it's a CHURCH.

PS: just checking to see if you're staying awake during services, brother Norm...
