I have been a semi frequent poster on several other automobile forums and have found most of them to be kind of "horsey." By that I mean that when the least little thing is put in a post that conflicts with the interests of the people providing that forum, they will delete it.

In contrast to that, I have been posting on this forum somewhat regularly for over five years and cannot recall anything that was deleted or anyone scolded for posting information that conflicts with the profitability of Fastlane, or in the past, MB Autowerks.

It amazes me how many people will post questions asking where to get parts while it is very obvious that one of the purposes for their supporting this forum is to help promote the sale of MB parts. It seems to me to be downright rude.

Asking on these forums for parts sources is much like walking into the auto supply, walking up to a customer at the counter and asking him where to buy a part that would obviously be sold in that store, while the counterman is listening.

There has been the normal necessary moderation of posts over the years, even some of mine have been thrown out the window, and probably for good reason. I have NEVER seen, however, posts thrown out for promotion of the competitors of this site.

That's all I have to say. It's nothing more than a post, to point out to those who might not have noticed, just how much class these folks have.

Have a great day,
