It just blows my mind the reaction I'm getting from there.  I just wanna 
scream, "DON'T YOU IDIOTS REALIZE WHAT YOU'RE SEEING?!" and shake them 
like a pork chop in a baggy of Shake-n-Bake.

The thought of building a full motion simulator with a castAR in mind has 
me openly drooling at times. :D

Well to be fair, we've had our fair share of jerks and I've been one of 
them at times, but it's been many years.  This list is pretty small - 
somewhere around 220 or so members.  You figure that in February we passed 
the 13 year mark for the mailing list.  The people that are here tend to 
be the most hard core of the simpit builders.  We like newbies because it 
gives us new ears to repeat the lies we've been telling around the 
campfire for years. *laughs*  That being said, thanks for the kind words. 
It's nice to know that people find the list useful.  I just wish I had 
more time to dedicate to the website.
