Zeus, I'm pretty sure you had nothing to do with John's decision to leave or reason for posting.

I also have met John on several occasions and can personally understand wher he is coming from. If I had to guess, I would say it has nothing to to with posting on the board at all. Obviously we are all very attached to our vehicles and none of us enjoy hearing negative things about them or ourselves, but I don't think that's what John was doing.

Check out my past posts and my gallery and you'll see that shortly after I bought my VX, I started arranging meets. If you follow the photos, you'll see that year after year, there are less and less people in attendance. I'm pretty sure that's all John was getting at. I obviously noticed the same thing, and as a result, I don't even think I did a casino meet last year. People are just busy, that's all. Geez, I have two bands, play poker, go offroading with the club, and this spring I started my own business! If anything, John is probably more upset with me than anyone.

If John is guilty of anything, it's that he expects others to be as passionate about their VXs (and their VX family) as he is. And I'm sure that most of us are, but we don't get out and share it with each other as much as we could.

Sorry John, hope to see you around,
Brian

PS and if there is a paypal or money issue, John will make it right.
