George, I see your perspective, however, in working for (more)
...a global corporation for many years AND parusing more than my share of all kinds of message boards, it's been my experience that people who's primary language is not English rarely, if ever, have near-perfect spelling but use absolutely no spaces between words. Perhaps you haven't seen it, but there's a demographic/age group out who intentionally write the same way as this individual 'cause "it's cool".
While I could be quite wrong about this person (and if I am, you have and that individual both have my most sincere apologies), I think you are being a bit of a prick in basing your negative assessment of me on the simple fact that I did not post an answer for the individual. You are right, from what I've read of your posts, I probably know 5% or less of what you do about these cars, but I'm learning and I always try to share whatever I can. That is not to say I have no right to bust someone's chops in my own idiom because they chose not to use any spaces between words, making their post difficult to read.
Had you looked to bring to my attention (in a positive way) that this person **might** be learning English, I might've found myself feeling bad for teasing the guy, rather than thinking you just woke up in a shitty mood
Point taken. No harm done. No offense intended. Amen. Mozeltov.

a couple of things...you may be right about the guy and that English is his native language and he choses to write that way. I too see it all the time on a lot of boards...and I am an old guy who is pretty well educated and I say...so what. So what if he writes like that, I don't care, and I am probably much more discriminating about writing and using the language than yourself.
As to calling me a prick, well now that we are in the mud, I may be a prick for taking you to task for being petty, but you are a stupid prick for wasting more band width and not accepting the fact that you violated the code of this board which is tolerance and helping other people, instead you elected to criticize the poster and not offer advice, violating two very fundamental tenents of why this board exists. Why I said what I did. And lastly Tim...and hopefully it is young Tim who has a lot to learn about the culture of message boards if not life itself...as in society, there is a pecking order on all boards and you have now violated that tenent as well by criticizing me. Since you live in a glass house and elect to throw stones, I will leave you with what you deserve in terms of correcting the poster's grammar. Tim my boy, you misspelled a word in your above post...its peruse not paruse....not really what the board is about is it?
George
Enough!
Don't make me ban the both of you.
