When you do learn someone interesting, it's best to set up direct contact (email, web site, etc) with that person rather than keep going back to parties (forums) to wade through the crowd hoping to learn something.Shunpikerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14364693794319252450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-6446932680931306272015-07-31T10:41:49.963-04:002015-07-31T10:41:49.963-04:00Agreed!Agreed!Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-17271697161623067702015-07-31T10:41:10.065-04:002015-07-31T10:41:10.065-04:00Well seeing that we don't have a TV would make...Well seeing that we don't have a TV would make all the more reason why Kevin has had it with forums. ;-)<br /><br />Having said that, there can be some good info and advice but a lot of it is few and far between.

Their bible is Borderland Beat which is actually hand-picked news stories in Spanish that are translated and then the Americans attack Mexico in the comments section. Rv.Net I might ask a question about rvs or tech stuff but that's pretty much my limit anymore. The Mexico forum is run by people who no longer go to Mexico. living.boondockingmexicohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17157433834193440923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-62217068857816232622015-07-30T18:41:44.655-04:002015-07-30T18:41:44.655-04:00I know what you mean.

I normally stay away from them now as well except for when I am seeking some specific advice. There is one American political forum populated by right wing Tea Party types that I find amusing. They are so easy to stir up by throwing in a little bait. Keeps an old man amused.Crofthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17634815881045387152noreply@blogger.com
