TOTALLY TO MUCH Brett Dikeman

Sun Feb 28 17:01:48 PST 2010

Well it looks like moderator (dictator) Dikeman has once again killed an interesting thread. Apparently he is much like a rental cop he has a little bit of power and can't wait to use it. At this point I am done with the list as well as Dikeman's opinion being the only one that matters here. I only wish that some day I can know everything there is to know about everything there is like he does or at least thinks he does. He is definitely a legend in his own mind. I am done with the Audi list I can't take anymore of Brett!!!! Dude get a life or is this list it.

Good luck to all and may the Audi goods look favorably upon you. 

unsubscribing will be my next step......see ya....
