I am mechanic. When I first started posting here there seemed to be a little animosity about "that other website" and I didn't want to get involved in all that so I adopted the name mechanic. I'm now convinced that if I'm civil about things most of the posters here will be. I appoligize to everyone here for feeling that this was necessary but I've been posting on the net about skiing since before Harald was on the D-team and have seen too many websites decend into flame wars.
In the future all my posts will be under the name ydnar which is a nickname my son gave me more years ago than I want to admit.
