Gentlemen,
It is not that I don't moderate, it is just that I saw no indication of spamming (except for the strange sentence structure and the 'tran' at the end of the name, tran is a popular Vietnamese family name). Although this person probably is a spammer, the question asked brought out good information that other newbies who read the forum but who don't post can learn

My wife brought this video to my attention. Very funny and about metal detecting. It is in German, but nobody speaks in the video anyhow. I hope you enjoy it.

Ethanol has less energy potential than gasoline (ethanol has 84,000 BTUs per gallon, gasoline 114,000 BTUs). Although ethanol has higher octane (resistance to pre-ignition due to heat generated during compression), this attribute can only be utilized in higher compression engines. Ethanol doesn’t

Life and my day job have been GREATLY restricting my time. I have a few diagrams and animated sequences to finish to really properly illustrate some of the finer points. I would rather take extra time to produce a better product than to cut corners and produce a video that I know is not the best of my efforts. To not produce to the best of my efforts would be a disservice to Tom and to the time a

A friend of mine at work (and an admirer of your video) just bought a Whites Surf PI Dual Field. He wants to do shallow salt water hunting (4 to 6 feet deep) and beach. Did he make the right choice?
