Yeah, I don't really think so either. I was on-line a lot and liked
helping people out, including how to help themselves, much to their
chagrin. Most of the SE-R specific stuff I learned from people here,
many of whom are still here and still my list "heroes." Merlin was
gone by the time I joined. Mike was in and out for a while before
coming back regularly. Countless others paved the way. Zak, Jim
Wright, Rick Zotz, Wayne Cox, Mike Garner (sp?), and many others I'm
missing either brought new knowledge, or collected it and put it on
web sites before SE-R.net. I hope I am not insulting anyone by leaving
them off.

I was a sponge when I got on-line and my car was at a point it needed
things and the list and web sites of people on the list taught me a
LOT in a short time. I was grateful and as I said, I liked passing it
on. The really technical stuff I mostly learned from Mike, especially
when I was building my engine. I started my project as little more
than a mild rebuild. I asked Mike some questions and found out what he
was up to (I knew most of the stuff he was doing before it was on the
list or in SCC as a result) and that sent me deep into territory I
dreamed of going. Mike and JWT did 99.9% of the research that went
into my engine. My big contribution was putting Mike on to Swain Tech
(still the best coating company out there) who I was planning on
using. Mike had wanted to do coatings but found most coaters near him
to be lame.

This is still the best group of on-line people, friends really, most
of whom I've met FTF, I've come across. And once again, I'm replying
to the list when I should be working. Back to my deadline....
