This thought also occurred to me during a stretch of 'windshield time' to and from a meeting.

I also belong to a forum for Mopars very similar to this group. However, it is almost all technical info, there is little or no banter or joking around and not because the moderators have ever jumped on anyone for 'off-topic' posts. While the technical info is good, it doesn't have nearly the activity this group does.

I think the two are related...

While we may occasionally need to be reminded ( <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/shiner.gif" alt="" />) to keep it good-natured and at least marginally related to Isuzus (or at least off-roading), I think the leeway given to let folks express some of their personalities helps make this place what it is and helps explain why most of us spend so much time here!

I've never seen a post there about 'what do you do off line' or 'how did you come up with your screen name'...

Hmmm, I think I'll head over to that board and start both of those! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />
