I dunno. I think if the opportunity arose, I would be happy to sit across a table and have a beer with J. He actually adds value. We don't agree on everything, but at least he has and shares knowledge of trees and tractors. Life would be dull if we always agree.
The guys that I ignore spend almost zero time discussing our core interests and most of the time being what my wife's family calls "**** disturbers". I have never once felt the need to peek at their posts or that I have lost something from ignoring them. I would miss J's input.
