I remember one incident several years ago with a self-complementry vendor; when called on it he was at first evasive, then changed faces into "oh that, I was just kidding." I always wanted to ask him what part about complimenting himself was he kidding about?
I still watch his website where he advertises his self-admitted fabulous car kit, as I'm curious whether such low antics ever pay off. I hope not.

Geez, what a world we live in.... The advent of the internet seems to bring the ugly side of humanity to the surface even in friendly environments such as this forum. Sad state of affairs.
When you really stop to ponder the "gift" of world wide, instantaneous communication for almost everyone with a battery or wall plug, you would like to think there is some sense of decorum, common sense, and courtesy to leave one's petty, greedy, self serving characteristics at the front door. I know, I know.... That's the way it is - suck it up and live with it. Still, it is nice to come in from the cold for just a little bit to meet and learn in friendship and common interests with the likes of JD, McCornack, et al... I'm richer for simply knowing these people exist out there that are kind, generous and part of the bright side of life!!
The common thread.... if there is one!? 30 weight for blood, the pure enjoyment of imagining and the pride of accomplishment, scratching the itch to create something with your own hands from disparate parts, bits n' pieces you see in your mind. As well, a life long curiosity of things mechanical. It's a great life
inspite of it all.
To close, thank you forum administrators, and fellow DNA deranged gearheads for the fellowship of the "open end wrench"! I'm proud to know ya and grateful there is a conscious effort to distill the dark side from the forum.
