My response was directly to the point that answering every post with “ you are asking questions that you shouldnt ask and should not be involved in”. Saying that initially is understandable but every question that is asked needs to have that rehashed? That was a blanket statement i made about wealthy owners doing what they want regardless of what other say on every single post. “dont do this or only this person should do this”. Im asking very detailed questions about things “ nobody but the main handful of shops should be discussing amongst themselves” and Im not passionate or enthusiastic?

I respect your input and you have been helpful, others want to continue to make blanket statements about my involvement, the intentions , are just bullying and not helpful to anyone. I get it intitial but there should be a point where the concerns are noted and move on to either offer answers to questions or just keep scrolling.

Again thank you for the help and I hope we can continue to communicate.
Matthew,

When you come to a site, as fresh new user, you need to realize that those of us who have been around here, might have a bit more of a knowledge base. Some of us have gotten are hands dirty on originals, or just been obsessed by them, same goes for the replicas, again, it does not matter as it is the common enthusiasm for the car that binds us together. We cannot agree on everything 100%, nor do we expect others to. Again, your car, or your friends car, your choices. Here, a little less attitude will get you much more cooperation than otherwise. Flair ups happen, noses get bent out of joint (especially if you have a beige colored Cobra ), does it happen, you bet, but again, in the long run, we are all just car guys/gals.

Bill S.
