Many will identify me as having been very active at the mentioned site - until recently.
I've been happy with my 2000 5-speed Insight nearly 79,000 miles and five years. Only mechanical problem was a $200 repair of the O2 sensor at 30,000 miles. I don't have the time or knowledge to attempt mods - I don't want to pretend I'm smarter than the engineers at Honda. What little I have to say technically is apt to be locked without explaination as it's likely my post would be redundant on a site that as been up over three years.
That leaves current events. There is this disturbing tendancy for threads on current events being locked without public or private explainations well before a fight occurs. I moderate at a pet site and individually contacts members that are truly disruptive. To lock a thread well before there is trouble is just lazy over-moderating. For instance, it was OK for a moderator there to start a thread on "Bush's hybrid policy", yet my post briefly mentioning the author of "Peak Oil" on Art Bell was locked. I fail to see how one is neither political or controversial, yet the other is. Pleasant tangents, even just a couple of posts are locked as if it was a tirade of obsenities. {sigh}
That site would be cool if they had better moderation....
Therefore, I intend to remain a hybrid enthuasist that has a place to speak my mind - here.
