I suspect that weekend warrior would rather have major surgery without anesthesia than go to Rickresource.

Even though it's a privately owned forum, people who don't agree with the Rickenbacker's policies and practices are not treated well.

I didn't mean John Hall. I'm talking about the True Believers there who feel a sacred duty to defend the company's policies no matter what. And a certain so-called technical expert who doesn't know nearly as much as he thinks he does.
