[s-cars] Worthy projects (was Alum..was UrS $)

[Bruce Mendel]

This is an exchange of information and opinion list, Eric. Not everyone on
here will be an expert or have the 100% accurate answer, but that does not
mean they can not or should not contribute. And you are certainly entitled
to offer your experience/opinion if it contrasts with someone else's. That's
why we are all here.

I don't know Scott personally, and I don't know you. But I do know that
Scott offers helpful advice and opinions based on his experience, which may
or may not be right all the time. And let's face it, he's certainly not some
new guy that just bought an A6 and claims to be a supergenius. He has done
plenty of work on plenty of Audis.

But I do remember you, since it seems that many times when you post, it's to
flame someone else or otherwise make personal attacks. Or to boast.

So speaking of spew, keep your posts on here limited to the topic, and leave
personal attacks out of it. If you disagree, state why without making it a
flame war. See below how your post could have been sent without making you
sound like an insecure acne-laced teenager who has to prove his private
parts are bigger than the other guy's. See how irritating a personal attack
like that can be?
