Re: No. 2.
Not before I respond to a few things...
Ned...obviously. Voicing a personal opinion (and clearly labeled as such given his position with the Registry) is absolutely fine. But for the head of the Club to go after some folks like that was most certainly over the line. And his continued derogatory attitude to the replica market, while SAAC had its hat out last year to help fend off Shelby?
Shooting oneself in the foot is one thing...using a shotgun to do it is just plain assinine.
I most certainly hope for the good of SAAC and its Members that the rest of you folks on the editorial board might have a conversation with him...maybe hold up a picture of CS in a mirror frame to make the point.
Evan...as usual, you've come on without researching what the issue is and shot your fool mouth off again. I take it you haven't seen the CC Staff Meeting video? As for this forum being 100% behind SAAC (or Shelby, for that matter)...evidently an impression formed from your mental masterbatory techniques. (Club cobra took no position and highly regulated threads about the SAAC vs. Shelby dispute.) BTW...Kopec's treatment of 4000s ain't much better than his treatment of any other replica...just renamed "riff-raff" if you care to read the first page of this thread.
I will say this, however...during all the years of reading Evan's posts...he has never engaged in mean or derogatory remarks against other makes of replicas. Further...he goes to great lengths to explain his logic for his position while making clear his appreciation for other makes.
