Jon,

There has to be a grinch

I find your technical posts to be really good and they are absolutely helpful. I only attack the posts that are preaching in nature and judgemental without much basis. And since you seem to be the driving force behind this forum, I am especially sensitive when you start to mix the BS into your posts!

BTW, I do all the work on my bus (and fully intend to change airbags myself when the time comes, maybe not with 2 bottle jacks but one and some wooden blocks . My post was not about pitting "us poor folks" against the "rich" but to establish a common baseline among companies and to qualify the advice intended for a person that is specifically looking at the current state of affairs.

As far as friendship is concerned, I don't care much about being friends with you. It is more important for me to have a technically useful forum with variety and IMHO your preaching just intimidates people. So, I am perfectly fine to be the grinch
