Skyler, you made a statement about how although the treads can become heated at times, there is usually some good information that can be learned. I agree completely. I was reading that cam thread and am still learning more and more about camshafts.
Unfortunately, sometimes the name calling/childish behavior gets out of hand and then there goes the thread.
The number one thing that made me join this site almost 4 years ago was the very helpful way that the members conducted themseleves on the boards. It just seemed like the posts had less of a 'I know everything and you don't so shut up!' and more of a 'Hey these are my experiences with that cam, or these heads, or whatever, and here is my advice'.
I'm not an ASE certified mechanic (I know, I know, I had many of you fooled

) so I know very little about cars, engines, tranny, brakes, and everything else on a car...but I have learned alot from these boards and from working on my Mustang. I hope that we can all lighten up a little and get back to helpful and resourceful posting as it's in everyone's best interests.
