It would be damn hard to be considered a pro in any field in what three years, other than building a "pro" sized ego. There should be room for all, I have read about the old builders war on here before that did the site no good. Just go over and look at the FF and see how many respected members are making post over there. It's sad in a way, but I see why. It's has started becoming more of BS or Brad Site and if no one agrees with him the big bad Ohio Chainsaw Posse, what ever juvenile name that is jumps on whomever disagrees and drives them off the site or whines to the mods to get after the dissenting member if they break a rule, but they sure as heck don't hesitate to break them when it benefits them. Starting this whole thread is an infraction as far as I'm concerned. If I were in the business, "hobby" or not, I wouldn't be afraid to run anyone. I grew up in the competitive shooting sports, got a big trophy from the national shooting complex at San Antonio, not near as good as I used to be, but I'll still shoot against anyone, lose more than I prolly win anymore but sure as hell won't back down against a good challenge. I once inquired about having a saw ported by Brad, but after seeing some of these post, the missing internal photo's of the "up front" all revealing 372xt build, I'm no longer considering it, way too many questions. He dosen't need my business away. There are plenty of newbs that come on here and get caught by the self promoting vids of "super saws". I prolly know less about saws than most on here, but by golly mine sure as hell aren't used for cutting cookies, they don't look like they come off the shelf, they are tools used to cut wood and a **** load of it. Admittedly I don't do near as much cutting as I used to with the health issues, but up to last winter there have been many 8 and 10 hour days on a saw. Five gallons of mix a week, sure dosen't make me a saw expert or pro, just a damned firewood hack. Admittedly, I would like a saw that would kick my cousin's azz, he's a full time logger, brags on the square ground chain he uses and his silvey grinder, would love to have the 460 ported so I could go have him wonder why it eat his 660.
