Not to get sidetracked from the OP, but I have been a member of both sites for years. I have found both sites to be very helpful and I try to contribute my experiences to both sites where I can. The 500e board does have some great information for owners who are dealing with the M119 engine or the W124 chassis--you posted a lot of this information yourself.

I'm not seeing how GVZ is trying to cannibalize anything. To my knowledge, he has never asked for--nor accepted--contributions from members to maintain the 500e board. Many of the 500e board members frequent this site too. I don't know what happened between you two guys, but I can't imagine that GVZ deserves the comments above. Sorry to hear about your dog, Eric. I have been there and I know how difficult it is to deal with that. I still miss mine after five years. I do miss seeing your posts over on the 500e board.
