I should have stayed a Lurker!

Up until last week I had about 22 posts and a 5 star rating. I start posting conservative, thoughtful and informative responses (or so I thought), just trying to help, and now I have 50-something posts and 3 stars. Am I just taking up space here? Have I offended someone. I've shot out several 5 star ratings, I don't mess with people's stars otherwise. Anyway, don't want to be the next RR1/001, so back to lurking.

You're taking this far too serious.
For me, it's about how much can I learn from others more than what I can contribute.
What I learned at this site,
-Superdave proved me wrong and convinced me of the effectiveness of intercoolers.
-Duayne from Hi-Tech convinced me that I didn't need a droop for my boat and sold me some parts that worked the best yet.
-I learned about racing at Blarney Island and ran my boat there and had a blast.
-I learned about the races at Ottawa, Ill. and ran the boat there and had a blast.
-Learned that I never will want mechanical fuel injection or alcohol on a recreational use boat.
-Learned that a Jesel belt drive is far superior to a gear drive.
-Was able to sell some parts to people who frequent this site. The transaction went smooth and they were happy with the parts.
-I finally made up my mind on Vdrives, I'll keep my conclusion to myself.
The list goes on. Of course there is some BS here also but that's life.

If it really bothers you, turn off the rating in your profile and don't give it another thought.
Welcome, and enjoy !

Maybe it is me but I don't really give 2 shits about the stars. I say screw it if you are having fun then stay on here and learn and meet new people.

Why? Don't want to piss anyone off and loose stars? wink
Jet Junk, don't worry about the star thing, just turn it off. People can be petty and rate you a 1 cause you said you don't like fried chicken for dinner on thursdays. Stars don't mean anything. If you're a good guy it shows in what you say.

For choosing to be an A$$hole, I'm gonna give YOU 5 stars! wink
