whoo, man, i'm gettin' tired just reading this stuff!

You have to ask yourself, "Do I want to join a family that stabs backs?"

OK that's way oversimplifying it and maybe a little overly dramatic as well, but like Steve said... You never hear the Kirkhams bashing another manufacturer or throwing out false claims.

And you know, I think "puffing" is okay if you are paying for your time. Classy advertising is obviously welcome on CC. But, to be here for free because the wonderful people who run this thing let us be here for free, I think immediately places a restriction on what you should be saying.

The people here with 8 posts (hell, with 120 posts or 1200 posts, depending on the subject) are very impressionable. If someone comes in and says "Hey, I'm looking at SPF and PMS, any recommendations," the most they should hear back from Bob or from Dean Rosen or Jim Price or someone is...

"Come see for yourself. I think you'll be really impressed with our stuff. The other guys make a hell of a product, too. But I highly recommend a visit to the shop."

I think everyone's been afforded the right to post a message like that. But to take advantage of a free forum and skew facts and numbers to sway a new guy toward your replica, I think that's a little off the charts.

And you know, if you advertise here (and pay for it), then let that ad do the talking!!! Come in and say "hi" just so the new guy gets the feeling that you're an accessible person, but let your ads do the talking - and let your vehicle owners support you.

Just my $.02
