Against my better judgement, I'll venture out from under the rock and offer my perspective. The biggest difference I see on the forum of today vs. years past, is a lack of balance. There's still plenty of valuable, informative, helpful, often excruciatingly detailed info to be had, but there's very little fun and/or entertainment.

Sure.. Bruce, Cecil, Scott, CJ, and a host of others are gone, but so are the likes of JHAP, and Bob-O...that's what's missing, the opportunity to escape the detail orientated world of water, and enjoy a diversion for a few minutes. You've got lots of talent here on the forum today, but it's easy to get too wrapped up in it. It's a pond, a weed, and/or a fish..you're not trying to disarm a nuclear warhead with a rusty set of fence pliers. Maybe try to lighten up a little, once in awhile. There will always be questions needing answers, but a community needs to be more than an encyclopedia.

Back under the rock.


"Forget pounds and ounces, I'm figuring displacement!"

If we accept that: MBG(+)FGSF(=)HBG(F1)
And we surmise that: BG(>)HBG(F1) while GSF(<)HBG(F1)
Would it hold true that: HBG(F1)(+)AM500(x)q.d.(=)1.5lbGRWT?
PB answer: It depends.
