Great - someone else was thinking too. Thanks John. It's quite silly. I never got involved in the political stuff, didn't read most of it. I knew there would be arguements. I was just kind of floored when I was criticized for a joke. It don't matter. Let's move on. It seems right now, the major disagreement is about whether we can allow totally off-topic things, such as jokes or a little ribbing? In addition to what you have already said, I would suggest that if your post does not follow the main category, in this case tractor talk, then it should be labeled OT, as some are doing already. And, as you said, what I write usually offends you, don't read it. If you want to stick with only tractor stuff, don't read the OT's. I would like to think that any posting off-topic stuff without the OT could be put up for a public flogging. And likewise for anyone that wants to come in and rain on the parade of an OT. With the exception of personal attacks and name calling. Those should never be allowed. Anyways, these are just some suggestions. I've been on the road for the last 2 hours and was thinking of this very thing John. There has to be a way that we can find an alternative that would make everyone happy. Hopefully this spurs some constructive discussion. Ok, now a couple of other things. I don't believe a separate thread for OT will work, UNLESS possibly if it was at the top of the discussion list. I have some experience in this. I have in the past ran an online discussion group with about 1000 members, and about as many active ones as we have here. I have also done admin for a site that at that time was getting over 10,000 unique visitors a day. In BOTH of those cases, the people went to discuss in the place which was the most popular, in this case Tractor Talk. Moving an alternative to the top of the list had limited success. So, John, put on the coffee. Let's talk. Jay

Show Coverage: Godfrey, Illinois Country Days - by Cindy Ladage. Except for last fourth of July's Old Gold show in Springfield, Illinois, I don't remember when it was so hot. Nevertheless, the heat didn't keep vendors and visitors alike from enjoying the third annual Country Day's Event. Jane Elliott said the event was originally a one man show. "Barry Seiler, owner of Country Town Farm Supply store used to invite people up to the Johne Deere store. He would give hats and a free meal for everyone that brings a tractor." Elliott said while this
