I could of course be drinking looney juice and be completely wrong. I haven't had the displeasure of a run in with anyone in a long time. I've kept my public comments to a minimum on this as I fear the Chat thread privilege would be removed if someone thought it was too much work to mod again.

Them's the rules and we can't change them, but it's no harm to reflect on the effect they have on Motors. When certain posters are banned it changes things for the rest of us. Because I've been around for a long time, I care about this forum, and I think that RoverJames made a valuable contribution to it.

Will quickly find out if it's for you or not. Always though I'd enjoy software development, but once I started doing it in college, I actively hated it, so I'm now in the infrastructure side of things.
