This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

What's going on with the caster picture? Not sure what it is showing.

In addition to what others have said, it also affects camber in turns. Positive caster when turning gives the outside wheel negative camber and the inside wheel positive camber to keep a larger patch of contact when turning at high speed.
