Glenn,
Well said, as usual! Your sentiments ring true for me as well.

Mike Forte,
I speak only for myself when I say that I appreciate you being here and providing occasional input to specific needs of the guys and gals here, and I do not hesitate pushing others to contact you for their transmission needs, and for other performance questions. My initial contact with you was due to a similar recommendation from someone here at CHR, and after an early evening e-mail posting a question about my needs I was surprised to have my phone ring 20 minutes after hitting "Send" (though it was nearing 8pm in Massachusetts), and for you to ask if we could walk through the options to find the "right" answer to my drivetrain needs. We did (after an hour of back & forth), I later bought the package, I've been very happy with it, and both you and Steve (Forte'sMinion) have helped me with smaller needs since. Only in the past couple of weeks Steve's posts have taken an aggressive marketing slant, using what is meant to be a discussion, Q&A venue to advertise specific products, including the most recent "series" explaining custom engine/tranny packages that can be provided. You've never done this before that I have seen. We all understand the impacts of the economy, but we also understand that the "For Sale" section in CHR specifically says "Personal, not for business" and that has not changed. I have no idea what the "vendor" arrangement is, and that's between you and Brent. Bottom line, Forte's Performance is a quality shop, and you and Steve bend over backwards to do right to your customers. I hope this all works out well and we keep seeing your name pop up here in the right ways, as it has in the past.
