Maybe different forum software but I would think if he were "banned" it would have said it.

Hola Boys-
Saw Rig's post on this thread= No not MIA
I have been around taking a peek, but have been listening rather than speaking- here's why.
We have some great regular guys on this forum, and especially the scammer forum- Total bulldogs, who know where to look and how to dig up info.
The problem is that a great many of the posters on the scammer forum seem to expect the regulars to do all the work. We have to post the add number, pm the other party, do the web searches-
I get PMs from people who have been scammed who want me to make long distance calls, look up this or that- makes me laugh sometimes.
So I decided to take a break, work on my racer and build some transmissions, and see if some of the newbies could figure it out. I don't think they can though

Just curious....out of all the detective work some on here have done, has any of it ever actually resulted in someone getting a refund from a crook? Has anyone ever been charged with a crime as a result of the "sharks" ? I'm just asking, I'm not trying to be a wise ass.
.... Sometimes the scammer section is a good tool to warn others..I don't think it is as much a help in getting someone's money back as it is exposing the scumbags...therefore preventing them from ripping off anyone else. Just my opinion and again...I'm not being a wise guy just asking.

Scorp, good to see you are still around. I understand why you are listening & not speaking as much.... besides, working on the race car is a high priority.
1. I don't like the feeling/tension from what was said here... (pg 1 & pg6) what the hell is going on??
2. Mark, you are a good man. Hemi, you too. Many others that I will not mention. It is a brotherhood... so where did the continuity go???
3. Tom: I understand that we do not see what you see. I understand that we do not answer the complaints you may have, etc... there is a fine line between freedom or speech & governing a thread. I too would stick up for Mark if need be. No one likes to be told what to do or be corrected... we are grown men here. Are we not all on the same team? I can remember many threads that have gone astray w/ out a reprimand... not sure why you would single out Mark or Hemi specifically when the are part of the back-bone here. Maybe I am confused; don't fully understand, but as you have reminded us many times: "this is a free PUBLIC forum".
Maybe I have said too much, hell maybe it is not my place. I do know that Mark is not delusional or on mind-altering-meds. Let's not make this whole forum a "US AGAINST THEM" mentality... please. A "Mod" in my humble opinion should not put down the forum users who pay to be here.
