Professional people like michael, mark etc are businessmen and accordingly, always act professionally and are passionate about the hobby and their respective businesses, so they always avoid hassles, like any smart business people, so i understand why michael may choose, not to post on this or the other forum. His books do his talking for him. (but can someone find me a friggin copy of the 1982 to present ? the books cant be read if ya cant bloody buy them) or can someone lend me one for a few weeks. I'll buy anyones spare copy ?)

As for egos and politics, we arent machines, sometimes the passion gets the better of us, and typed english can be interpreted in so many ways, sometimes wrongly.We are just all pin loving guys trying to have a bit of fun.If the forums werent full of different personalities and people, we would all just go to the library,not.  lol

*still waiting for volume 3.  Michael, sell me a book. pls.pretty pls.
