Steve26, your initial experience here sounds familiar. When I joined last year, I lurked, read, and then sent out several PM's to some of the older members with high post counts who appeared to have both the knowledge and willingness to help new guys learn the ropes here. For the most part, none of those members bothered to reply.
After becoming acquainted with Fran, I for one am very pleased that he is "all over this forum", and is so active with his telephone, email and PM's, because he's one of the friendliest, most helpful, and IMO, best ambassadors this place has.

"...the result was and still is that I am cautious around this crowd. I will very rarely venture advice or an opinion because I don't need the drama."

Amen to that.... although I recently participated in a Toyota engine thread, here in Fran's subforum, and it seemed to go OK.
