Well..................I guess it's worthwhile mentioning, that if members here have something bouncing around in their heads....................start a thread.

The worst that can happen is some verbal abuse. It's not a newspaper, and I'm sure the bloggers like a little reprieve that a few active threads can bring.

Why not? If there's one one thing engineers never run out of.................it's opinions.

Wow, thanks Savvyexacta. I knew I was missing many of the more interesting threads and I don't think I hit any of the ones listed. I do enjoy the Camaraderie and questions. I am retired but not always available. So in 2012 I will try to be more proactive on CR4 or at least improve on my 0 for 20 score.

But, if they listed the most popular threads of all time, most viewed thread, most commented on thread, most links from a thread, most pictures inserted in a thread........., then the site would need renamed as "DtC4"!
