Here is the gem of the month, from a the thread about a ATP dyno day:

Here's my personal favorite post from the month of May:

I believe there may be some words of truth to that post but I haven't quite figured out what they might be.

Remember a short time ago when a member was attempting to install his Noltec steering rack bushings and encountered a problem with fitment, even with assistance from two other members? A thread was posted on the other forum back in February and Jamie has just now replied defending Noltec as a Vendor! This sure sounds like a conflict of interest to me. Recall the old (modified) Klingon proverb:

It is a good day to be banned.

I'll wait for a few hours if anyone wants first dibs but I may decide that my posting days on the other board are to become a thing of the past.

Ya, I'm subscribed to that thread and I was going to point that out to her, but then decided it wasn't worth the effort.

Well someone else did Bump the thread but that still does not make it ok.

Maybe you guys have not noticed but Jamie is one large walking conflict of interest. Anyone who deletes bad reviews about her products should now way in hell still be a mod. Oh I forgot, she ePutsOut for Nick.. my bad...

go say something bad over there Alan and see how long it takes for the thread to get locked or for you to get warning points

SWEET. I just found the original receipt for my digi cam and it has the extended warranty. I'm gonna see if Circuit City will hook up the trade in action and maybe I can score a deal on a G5

Thanks to everyone for coming by to the BBQ. It was a lot of fun. We'll do it again once the weather gets warmer and the pool isn't so cold.

WW left me two movies to watch. I watched the first one tonight and it was awesome: Roger Dodger. I highly recommend it.

And thanks to Scott and Matt and Dan for getting my computer back up and running and getting the wireless network operational.

I think I'll go post a thread in the general section telling everyone how wonderful i-club is and how the relationships forged here have changed my life forever. Oh wait, someone already did that...

note to self: no posting after alcohol. I do not want to become another Daredevil.

I'm referring to a scene from "Roger Dodger". You're welcome to borrow it one of these days.
