[s-cars] What's up with the Scott and Eric show?

[Steve Marinello]

Okay, in the absence of Unka Bart, I'll invoke the greying old fart soap 
box...

I've been associated with the 'lists' since the early days of the 
original quattro list.  It has been a real pleasure having Scott back 
and getting into some good discussions about all sorts of things, even a 
teeny tiny bit of Torsen.  We disagree, we argue, we bitch, we 
sulk...and we get back into the discussion the next round and everything 
is cool.  Eric, you have been able to contribute valuable information 
AND opinions at times over the years, but one has to wonder when you 
will outgrow the need to flame Scott and attribute such vitrolic 
negatives about his opinions and experiences.  Just because you've never 
seen a B5 oil filter that got bit on the track doesn't mean that Scott 
or any number of other people haven't on the less than optimal roads and 
conditions that we all face at some time.  But, that's just the one 
point explosion of this episode.  One also has to wonder whether  we're 
looking at 'roid rage, over-caffeination or some other 'induced' state 
of mind when you go on like this.  I personally would love to have the 
added benefit to this list of your knowledge on that which you 
specialize, because you have provided welcome information to me at times 
over years past, but if it is at the cost of turmoil to the list and 
driving Scott away (Did you really wondered why Scott tends to stay 
away, Steve?) then I'd have to ask that you keep your comments off 
line.  Scott brings tremendous benefits to this list and has helped 
countless members searching for answers, parts, directions, etc. over 
the years and shown everyone what comraderie can be under widely varying 
situations...which is why we continue to hold him in esteem and welcome 
him at every opportunity.  Your actions now invoke multiple "...go back 
under the rock you crawled out of..." responses from list members who do 
not want to see this go on again.

Take a bit of time to think about how you want to be thought of ten 
years down the line, on this list or any other, and in life in general.

Hope to see some of your valuable comments in the future,

Steve
