As with anything in life, people respond when they want to. It's not work,
and people are not answering because they have to, it's because they want
to.
I think this is one of the best groups I have been on. I have gotten great
information about my Dakota (Which I LOVE!!!). I have seen some spirited
discussions that, for the most part, end amiably. Best of all, there is
minimal off topic stuff and little flaming.
While I like the camaraderie of the site, I don't want to see hundreds of
posts a day about completely off topic junk of every sort (see the VROC -
any Vulcan riders out there?).

Subject: DML: Re: RE: I Wonder?
Well, It's kinda sad, but I've noticed the DML the most active when people
have problems. Its either a truck problem, or someone bitching about
getting stiffed on parts (guilty as charged). I don't know if the DML is
just a big target for people to put their frustrations out on, but it seems
like thats when were all fired up, shooting out posts left and right.
But on the good side, 99.9% of our problems are resolved in a timely matter.
