[QUOTE=HOTRODPAINT]Don, those comments were not pointed at anyone on this site. You guys are real gentlemen compared to other sites!

I have quit a couple of them, due to the rudeness. I think what bothers me the most is that it is tolerated by their moderators.]


No intent here to side-track a good thread, but you're absolutely right, Jay. People here are much more civilized.

On another site I mentioned that I once had a very strong running Corvair Corsa with, among many other things, a four barrel. Some guy responded with "Scuse me, but Corsas came with four single throat carbs, not four barrels". Then another hammerhead chimed in with "obviously he (meaning me) don't know WTF he's talking about". (I interpreted this comment to mean that I had somehow strayed from the true course of rectitude).

Well, dang it, I know that. When I got the car the engine was disassembled and piled in the back seat. The whole intake system, including carburetors, was missing, so I bought a "spider" four barrel intake manifold from Clifford.

Then, on the same site, some young guy who was in the process of building up a Chrysler 413 from a motor home asked if there is anything different or unique about the motor home engine. Well, there are several differences, some of which make them unsuitable for extensive modification, so I listed them.

Then a guy jumps in the middle of me for discouraging the boy by telling him what he was attempting to do couldn't be done when he was well on the way to doing it. HUH?

Who was it that squawked at me? THE MODERATOR!

Apologies for sticking in this rant where it maybe shouldn't be.
