the main problem most of us have is not with the questioning, its the
shit-talking that comes with it.

example:
guy 1:  "i ran 12s in my T25"
many people's response on lists: "bullshit, you are a liar, post some slips
and maybe i will eat crow"

when you could just as easily say:
guy 1:  "i ran 12s in my T25"
proper response:  "thats pretty cool, but i have trouble believeing that
one, why dont you post some proof?"

now, i didnt read any of the responses (i blocked the SE-R list until i hear
it has gotten better, which it hasnt, the forums are a much more fun place
for me) so maybe what i am saying isnt an exact representation, but from my
experience in the past (and ultimate reason for blocking all messages from
this list) is that no one is willing to accept anything without first
calling that person a liar.

maybe things have changed.  email me directly if you have a response to what
i have to say, as i dont recieve mail from this list.
