Is it just me, or have you noticed that there seem to be more and more "Where can I find a <insert rare and highy-sought-after tractor, part, or implement here>?" posts on the various tractor forums lately?
It's against the rules on most boards, though moderators tend to let it slide. There's a place to post wanted ads on most boards for that sort of thing, and just because you struck out there doesn't mean you get to thumb your nose at the board's rules that the rest of us respect and abide by...
Drives me up a wall.
Half the time I figure they know exactly how to go about getting what they want, but they are doing it in the hopes someone will take pity on them and either give it to them free, or cut them a charity deal.
Okay, they're taking a shot in the dark hoping to get lucky. You've got to give them a *little* credit. If I did it, even incognito, they'd be all over me like flies on a fresh prairie muffin for breakin' the rules, though.
