Hmmm, maybe I should check if I'm on here. :roll:

If it were a wish to all, I would have said so. Clearly it was a response to the ones calling me out for having a different experience than they had. Newsflash! it was years ago, and nobody on either side cares. If a moderator wants to remove every mention of Mr.W in this thread that calls anything into question about his value to the community, you have my blessing.
btw: I made this list early, when I didn't agree with the wild west mentality of this board, and to this day, I give zero fucks about being mentioned on this list because it hasn't affected my quality of life one bit.

You intercepted my blunder and righted my wrong to great effect. What a profound effect you had! But still, your words affect me deeply.
Is that right? I think that's right.

You've been around long enough to know that's not how us Beamters operate around here -- we don't "moderate."

Sorry. What I proposed, is if the community feels that my old post about one of it's members, who you, yourself feel doesn't qualify to be on this list, is a travesty of justice, feel free to delete said post, I'm fine with it.
Just do it, and save everyone here from more of my run-on sentences.

No one asked for your apology. We just pointed out why Mike doesn't belong in this thread.

"Kenny", do you really live such a depressing, meaningless existence that you get enjoyment out of :deadhorse: issues that are clearly closed, which benefits nothing and no one? Do everyone, including yourself a favor and go find meaning in your life. Also, trying to delegitimize someone's experience because your experience was different, makes you an asshole, not someone who is merely pointing something out.

OK fellas, your comments have been duly noted. Before this thread takes a left turn to Sh*tsville let's regroup. A short walk to the garage and a sit in the driver's seat will ease things a bit (bring a beverage for inspiration) ;)

Indeed.

What beverage do you recommend? :beer: PBR OK?

Why yes, I do. I'll go watch Monty Python now.

NOW we can move on. I'm going for a Coke. Straight, no ice.

Wow...it's been a long time. Some things never change.

"Some come with the radio codes and others do not".

I'm guessing most do not.

Not only that, he blocked me for my comments while giving the patronizing "thanks" responses. That adds even more to his persona.

It would have been offenses. For some reason, I'm not finding his username (possibly can't remember the exact combo), so I can't give you specifics. I seem to remember he was into hoonery and not taking advice.

I was more impressed with They all work, meaning they turn on. Followed with this a sentence later, They have not been tested with speakers.

I kind of thought a working radio would have sound. Guess it shows what I know. :dunno:

Yeah, I noted that as well, but wanted to start with the first elephant in the room -- the lack of codes.

Well that was a shitshow.
I won't judge too harshly, though. I did something similar on facebook in 8th grade. By the time he's a junior in highschool, he'll be grown out of it, I'm sure.

Resurrecting this thread because of the guy who thought "390mm" was the wheel width for TRXs.

(it was a long discussion in the Vintage Facebook group and I was just "done" with the guy after a bit)
