Actually yes. That's totally acceptable.

Been there, some times your opponent doesn't understand the subject enough to know when he's wrong, or has deviated from the original subject so that he can be correct, ... you have to walk away and let them "win", regardless of whether it mis-informs the forum membership.

It doesn't always matter who's right.

Unless you have too much pride, go back and start over.

Sad is not really fair though, that kind of forum is a logical off shoot of any interest in any kind of car that had attained cult or collection status. Theres a forum like that for pretty much any diesel that is prevalent on the market. As forums go, its well structured and easy to use and navigate.
By that reasoning, I could call anyones hobby or interest in anything sad, which sometimes may be true when it goes to far, but most of the time is about good clean fun and putting your skills to use.

I like most of these forums, and MBCA as well. They each have a different "flavor" to them. People of like minds tend to congregate in the forums they most enjoy. I love reading about how people change the cars the make them their own. Its very interesting.

As for why the thread exists Tnbob, remember he started it over in the diesel performance section of peachparts first, then it was moved here. Most of the people who travel the performance section here peruse STD as well. Seems pretty logical to me.
Well said sir! Good show!

Probably because his "built to a budget" W126 has more problems than the two W123 owners left there.

I think anyone ought to be able to delete their posts- why not? It takes all kinds to power the planet- and if you cannot get along with folks then say so and leave. Over time people will form their own opinions- and obviously most folks already have- about me, about you, about everyone, and yes, about those at STD.

So Winmutt has been really cool about all this and has fixed the problem. Superturbo diesel is on the up and up. You should all go post there.
