Okay instead of deleting I've got to turn my scroll wheel and
click on pages and read through some of the lame responses
people have said.  Difference?

I have visited.  Recently some jackass was boasting
about how he was ripping some kid off.  Trading stock cams for
JWT cams saying that's why his car ran crappy.  And then saying
next he was going to tell him it was the ECU.  I've read a lot.
And I would say the BS content is still pretty high.

No one bars them from communicating here until they say
something stupid then someone says hey we don't do that here.

No its called threading.  Keeps similar threads together.
So 100 messages about the same topic show up as one message
until you expand it.  Don't want to read that thread you skip over it.

I agree at times that gets out of hand.  Because people don't
follow proper netiquette. In fact you yourself did it.  You
started talking to Jay about web boards under the topic of
t25 in the 12's.  I was the one that changed the subject
line.  If you recall I posted a few moths ago that people
were slacking.  Geo agreed.  I guess it takes PLO events for
things to really get straightened out.  But some nudges by
us help.

Hey no offense should be taken.  As Kevin said about opinions
earlier.
