See, THAT is what I think is offensive to many. First off, ALL of us are guests here. None of us have the "right" to be here! Second, this site does not exist because any one, --or any few of us remain here!! Third, many of us here are hot rodders too HOWEVER the rules have been clearly defined by which we are supposed to participate. Therefore let's abide by the wishes of the owner of the site and discuss Model-A's within the parameters he set forth. That is showing respect to him. Choosing to complain about his rules ...or blatantly disobeying them, --or threatening to go play elsewhere only creates hard feelings. Nobody "wins" in something like that. Its really not that hard to play by the rules!!

Man! I SURE would like to know how you read all THAT into my post, Brent!

1) "ALL of us are guests here. None of us have the "right" to be here": Agreed, but did my post say anything else?

2) "this site does not exist because any one, --or any few of us remain here": Agreed, but did my post say anything that contradicted that? Wondering what the effect would be if one or another of the "factions" disappeared was the ONLY thrust of my post.

3)"let's abide by the wishes of the owner of the site and discuss Model-A's within the parameters he set forth": Agreed, but don't be too concerned if some who HAVE posted here decide not to because of the abuse heaped upon them by one faction or the other! BTW, did you read that into my post as well?

4)"Choosing to complain about his rules ...or blatantly disobeying them": You got this from MY post? Sure don't know how! Was I complaining about his rules? Was I "blatantly disobeying them"?

Brent, I suspect you were replying to a LOT of earlier posts, and mine just happen to be the one you chose to respond to. If so, please ignore this response.

Regards,

Bill Lee
