Well, all I have to add is that my attempt to dominate and control the VAF narrative has failed so far.

...if only I had a few more posts...

I remember when I first joined thinking that people with 1000+ posts were the gurus of the field, and that I should listen to them carefully. Now I have well over 1000+ posts and know that I really still have a lot to learn myself. I am more cognisant of the fact that someone with a high post count is considered more knowledgeable, so I try to live up to that responsibility by maximizing the value when i'm posting something informative...

When i'm making a tongue-in-cheek remark not so much, but at least those should be pretty obvious... I hope...

As someone else pointed out, some combination of a high post count and/or an older join date is usually a better metric... There are some knowledgeable people who have been here forever but who have very low post counts.

VAF is an amazing place where us normal people can interact with experts in their field. Try getting an appointment to pick the brains of any lead engineer at any major manufacturer, and see how fast you get shut down. Here----gee, we all have access to them.

I for one, am very grateful for that!

So am I, Tom. I joined a long time ago, got busy flying, lost my password and just never bothered to wander back in here for the longest time, contenting myself with Matronics... Later, for reasons I forget, I returned to the fold as a regularly donating member.

I would not have thought twice about undertaking another build without belonging to VAF, as I am just as isolated now from other builders and tech help out here on the farm as I was twenty years ago building my 6A. Seriously, without the VAF the RV-10 project would not even be a consideration for me.

So if we ever were able to meld a lot of RV knowledge into one easily-tappable source that's available almost on demand and never seems annoyed at being hit up, that would be great.

... we could call it "Jesse Saint," or something catchy like that.
