I guess I look at things and say, who cares if something is boring? I scan most threads and like most, pick and choose what's of interest to me. The thing I've found is that even if a thread doesn't generate some initial interest, something later may trigger another thought that might help me out.
A couple of examples: Harv's Rops rack. Although I can't fit one on a
B7100, the idea has prompted some thought on a tool holder. MarkC's and others discussions about new tractor seats. It actually got me to finally figure out how to install the right one for my needs. A discussion some time ago about tire chains for front tires on 4wd tractors. I made a set this summer from old car chains and will let everyone know how they work once I start pushing snow. Discussion on the merits of synthetic oil. I'm not convinced it's a better alternative, but at least I became more informed on the subject. The Chalkley Cup discussion. Sure, a bit inane, boring and at the very least a bit comical, but my son thinks it may be his ride to becoming a millionaire. I REALLY hope so. The list goes on.
We all pick and choose. I don't care if a thread is boring or not. The stuff that flows in and out of this board is just pretty cool. You never know what topic is going to come up and whether someone is going to give you and idea or solution that you've been looking for. With the addition of the new forum categories, things should get even more intersting as time goes on. I check the CTB from time to time, and although interesting, it just doesn't give me the same variety of looks on any given topic, let alone the total variety of tractor related topics.
That's why TractrorbyNet is just so cool.
