    Yea, and the poll results have not moved more than 200 basis points since this Thread started.

    The membership has spoken. Some have voted themselves off the island...

    Back to work.

    Bo when the Poll started it was simply asking change/no change. That is like, "would you vote for Bush again..?" Clearly no... would you vote for Bush over Hillary Clinton... clearly yes... the poll alone is useless.

    I do think the associated thread has been useful, but has matured and now we should implement the changes...

    Agreed 100%

    In fact I said as much in my last post...

    Not correct.

    "View Poll Results: Does the main forum need a DIY or Modifications subforum?"

    It was specifically topical, as is typical of the Thread Starter. The question had nothing to do with Bush or sex in the Oval Office, far as I can recall... Oh my bad - Hillary did not have sex there, far as we know...

    OK smart ass... The point was it was general and has become a bit more specific.

    Jeb Bush vs. Hillary good grief and it might even come to that. What a country.

    The NRA is right... hand out guns so we can shoot ourselves.

    Hey, if more people had guns this world would be a better place.
    Gunfights clear up a lot of misunderstandings (once the smoke clears).

    Speaking of politics talk is cheap,

    The interesting thing is for every good idea or solution posted there has been resistance to change but we all know we have to change ..its become a war of words. Your now down to debating what the Poll was about.

    When is someone going to pull their finger out?

    At least ear mark threads that need to be relocated.

    That's role of the moderators of those areas.

    The can start as early as they like and ponder the naval why the hell they never did a damn thing about it in the first place.

    "View Poll Results: Does the main forum need a DIY or Modifications subforum?"

    By my view, it has come out the opposite. The new forum would be "Repair and Restoration to Lansing Starndards" with a precisely defined mission per the above discussion.

    Rename the old Technical Help forum to "Upgrades, Modifications, and DIY," and the moderator of the new forum can vet member requests or suggestions to move specific threads (or abstracts thereof) from there to R&R according to the new standards.

    Populating the new forum with nonconforming threads would significantly compromise it by example.

    Indeed. Attempting to move U,M & DIY from there would me monumental. It's not just titles, rather, content. That's why I suggest reversing the implementation for a manageable transition....

    Don't feel bad about it. The Pope would often go off topic during a speech to the masses...now was that before or after both fingers went up his nose..
