Thanks Tigertoms

I will admit, I was not aware of the relative new nature of this forum until this post. I figured I was coming into an already established situation and I am finding out differently. I also agree with you about attending meets. I like the get togethers but because I live basically 1000 miles away from most of your gatherings, this just is not something I can do on a whim, or for little money either. Nor can I do it on a regular basis, so a forum like this becomes MUCH more valuable than the once per year, or once every other year, event…no matter how good the event really is. You also mentioned that many Sunbeam owners may not have computers, or access to computers. As true as that may be I tried to direct my question at those who have access, proven by the number of “views” on a post. Those that do not have a computer will not log views in this forum, and by virtue of not logging views, do not become part of this question. I directed my question at those who read, but do not answer, nothing more, nothing less. I also tried to pose my question in such a manner as to invite an easy mindset. I do not intend to single out anyone, or chastise in any manner. I only want to ask, why no interaction, why no ideas, why no proven/failed attempts, why nothing. When I have posted a question that 80+ times it has been read, yet there are zero responses, I start to wonder what is going on. Did I ask a wrong question, was I rude, is this question too difficult/simple to garner a response, do people want to converse, or just read here…and the list goes on and on, mostly pointing the finger at myself as I am the FNG. This post has some good responses and that makes me feel better about the situation. So far I like the potential this forum has to offer and I hope it grows into something every Sunbeam owner comes to really use and appreciate. For now I will sit back and understand that we are waiting for a little more wind to fly our kite. Thanks and have a great day.
