Re: Friendly Website

Hi John: I'd be sorely disappointed if you detected anything "unfriendly" about the PAC forum and would like to hear about any such incidents by PM. As you know, the PAC forum was raided and corrupted several times a few years ago and, after a too-long hiatus, has returned with a new moderator (yours truly). Thus far it is quite different from PackardInfo in that there are many folks with questions but thus far hasn't built enough correspondents with expertise to allow answers to everything, hopefully that will change with time as more folks return. Thus far it tends to be comprised primarily of short, direct questions (hopefully which get a response), and few if any, long, rambling dialoges which transmogrify themselves along the way into other topics. I have absolutely no intention of controlling content except where absoutely necessary; thus far it's devoid of content about politics, the economy, or other babble (which may be serious, but non-Packard) which I really think belongs elsewhere. Also unlike PackardInfo, PAC's reference material isn't reached thru the forum but from the main website.

I like to think there is plenty of room for both and hope people will, as I do, find themselves welcome on both and willing to contributing to both, helping hobbists regardless of where they chose to post their needs for assistance. Its a hobby, not a competition. If anyone has any dissatisfaction with or suggestions to improve PAC's forum, I'd hope they contact me, just as we on occasion contact BigKev for such issues and opportunities on this site.
