I don't mind telling others what kind of a guy I am. Even at 81 I am very active in playing darts, but most will tell you that if I don't like something about the rules, etc. I am the first to speak out, I am doing this now.

I have been in this hobby for almost 30 years and I have no idea what "Fortune and Life PP" means. This title was posted on the Petro Wanted section. If I don't know what that means, can you imagine what someone just getting into the hobby feels like.

We continually post that newbes should look up stuff they have questions about, but we oldies continue to talk in code.

I don't know if this some kind of a code having to do with signs, but I think it is. I am not a sign guy, but I see all of you taking in codes: "DSP" Please quit posting like this, how else will the new guys understand what you are talking about.

I don't know if you guys have noticed that the posts on this site have gotten less and less. In my opinion it is we oldies have not reach out with information that makes this the site the one to come to, to learn more about the things we collect.

This is the Christmas time, the time of giving. I know I have never given anything directly to support this site and I apologize. Let's each one of us find something that we don't need anymore, post it on the Petro for Sale page, have the payment sent to Jim and we eat the shipping.

Hopefully, Jim will see this early enough to let us know how to send payments to Old Gas, he will let us know he has receive payment and where to send item to.

Come on guys, don't let this site go the ways of cheese on a hamburger.
