4) Sometimes in this medium it is hard to gauge what a persons intent is because you cannot hear their tone/inflection, nor see facial expressions. In this case I know what you are referring to with tongue in cheek sarcasm. However don't be surprised if some think you are a little off kilter for asking.

Maybe that was just for you and the others could just get a laugh......hope you thought about it

In the case of the thread you are referring to, it was devolving in several areas, but the OP related directly to a paid club members concern. It was therefore moved after a period of time to the appropriate section. The trouble of course is that the members only section is one of the few areas non paid club members do not have access to. So I certainly see your frustration when this occasionally occurs. One solution of course would be to re-up your membership to have access. I guess I will pass for now as I think it would be too much frustration to get further involved with a certain explanation posted today or yesturday either in that thread or other area for Paid Members only. That explanation is corrupt in regard to the facts.

"It is impossible to have a rational discussion with an irrational person."

That statement requires one to suggest and treat the other as irrational which means end of dicussion when in fact it may have been a very rational question. My positon is simple.....I ask very rational questions and if the questions are not understood, just ask for further explanation. If the questions are uncomfortable to answer, attacking the messenger is not the best approach.....but suit yourselves.
I am on my way out to work on my 90' (L98). I was tooling along at 80 mph last night on Route 99 and in front of me was a large Dead Dog (or animal of that size) in center of my lane. I was trapped in my lane by other vehicles. I ran over said Dead Dog at 80 mph with a BIG thump....and now have blood and whatever else hanging from my headers, transmission, brackets, and front air duct....I think there is no serious structural damage just messy all the way underneath
