With some sarcasm, I could thank you guys for sending me over to the Firewood Forum tonight to read up on danger trees. However, in all sincerity reading Metals406's thoughtful replies one after another lifted my spirit which has been down with the departure of Bob and the absence of RandyMac, both of whom brought much to AS.
Prior to the hack I have found the Firewood forum to be mostly a good crowd. I haven't been there much since the hack so I'll not comment further. The CS forum seems to continue on a downward spiral; there is so much sarcasm and ignorance expressed that it is sometimes difficult to tell whether a poster doesn't know better or is baiting someone - I don't really care when it comes to what saw, mod, oil or chain - but it really bothers me when it comes to something that can get you killed or maimed. I guess that is one reason (among many) that I miss the aforesaid men, they spoke up and you knew where they stood. Hopefully, some of you will take up the mantle despite the ruffled feathers and the chips some carry.
