Marc, for what it's worth I agree with what you are saying, but I think a lot of readers aren't getting the point. I think many of us, especially old timers, have a problem with anonymous posters - when posters are not willing to use their real name they don't have to be accountable for what they say. It abets those with overblown egos, at the expense of respect and common courtesy. If they are going to make public statements, whether technical help or complaints, they should have the guts to put their name on it. As usual, Gary "IN2TIME" hit the nail on the head. Whether or not "Greg/endotex" and "Gary/jetjock/checksix" are the same person, they have the same attitude which detracts from the usually valid points they offer. I don't know about the rest of you, but I give no weight to anonymous posts. Dave T., Dave S., Toby, Joe, and yes Marc have built reliable reputations by signing their posts, as have most others on this list. Of course with a few it has had a negative effect (anyone remember the post about novice mechanics not needing a fire extinguisher when working on the fuel system?), but that's a subject for another time.
As for the "Sonny V" postings, and the DMCH admission that they were done intentionally, that classless act goes way beyond "business promotion". Why would a business that has no competitors (all of the "approved" vendors buy from them at a small discount) need to resort to deception to build up sales? Even though Stephen was a D1 protégé I think we all inherently expected more from him. I suspect maybe "Sonny" is leading him astray.... But who besides Marc will say anything when the next time they need some rare part they may find out it's "no longer available"? (Marc, where do you get your parts?)
Once my last DeLorean is sold I may have a lot more to add to this subject. Or I may just fade away.
[Moderators, feel free to add a tacky critique to this message (should it actually get posted) like you did to Marc's 12/28 post. Was that really necessary?]
