Folks,
I was just reflecting on Kit wanting to leave, and had a few more personal thoughts that i wanted to share.
I was talking to Wendall the other day personally about spraypainting issues etc., and i mentioned to him in passing that where i come from in my dealings with people to do with the forum is .......... that i really love to show people what i've done with my car since i've owned it. That's all the little projects i've done to do the car up and improve it. There's two reasons for that.I know you guys love your Mustangs very much,and I really love my car, and am very proud of it as well, and i love to pass on what i've done to other folks so they can maybe take help or benefit from what i've done and have a win themselves. In that way i'm sharing with you all. I really love doing that.That means a lot to me.
Also, i really enjoy and get a buzz out of communicating with people from around the world. To me that's a real wow as well.Lastly, i have mentioned several times that i'm a pro auto spraypainter with around 37years experience. I am very proud of my trade and working life background, and have learnt a hell of a lot along the way.Nothing would give me more pleasure than to help forum members with any painting issues that may arise. I feel in that regard, i have a lot to offer folks, and can be of great help.I know there are other forum members as well that have great experience in motor body and painting too, and their contributions are very helpfull and valuable indeed. So i don't think i'm the only person that can help people in the forum in that regard. However, if i don't know something that a forum member has asked, i will always say i don't know rather than pretend i do, and try to make out i'm a big shot that knows everything about everything just to feel i'm important to people. That's never been my style.
I don't think i'm mister wonderful and know everything about spraypainting and Mustangs there is to know. We all never stop leaning in life, and i'm still learning about spraypainting as i go. As well, i don't mind admitting that my weak area, just for the record, are mechanical issues. In that department, i really don't know much at all, and found some of the boys on the forum an absolute treasure house of knowledge and information in that regard.Wow!, what they don't know! They have helped and educated me in many ways, which has been fantastic. My respect and thanks for sharing guys. It means a lot.Everyone has something to offer in life and that goes for the Mustang forum as well i think.Everyone has their part to play if they want. That's a great thing.
So the big way to look at it for me, is what a powerhouse this forum is becuse we collectively pool and share and contribute our ideas and knowledge for everyone's benefit. That's awsome! Also, the joy and fun with human beings connecting and interacting and enjoying each other's interests and passions is a fantastic thing as well.
If we try and respect each other, give quarter, and show patience and tolerance as we go, there's no stopping us.
The very best to all.
Greg
