[V8] My problem

[Roger M. Woodbury]

Dear Dan:  Since you said that you didn't know what my problem is, I will
take the time to tell you.  Perhaps I am an "old Fart" as I am much older
and have much more experience apparently with everything than you, but I
assure you I do not have a lot of time on my hands.  So the information that
I will impart to you is the only information that I have time to give to
you, and you may take it and apply it to whatever part needs it the most.

What you said was that you had tried to "get this stuff from Bruce at
audiconnection but that was a terrible experience."

Now right there you should have stopped, and instead of recommending a
career change, given some specific information about WHY the experience was
unsatisfactory.  Instead you said, "That guy needs to quit what he's doing."


Now, Bruce at Audi Connection has done a lot of work for a lot of V8 people
for a lot of years.  And if you have had a sour experience with him, then
you should explain it carefully and clearly as you finally did after I
smacked your fingers for being in the cookie jar.  Before your "incident"
with Bruce or any other supplier should be vilified, you need to establish a
whole lot more credibility as a consumer of V8 parts than just claiming to
have one.

So, my problem is that someone who has quite a reputation for "being one of
the good guys" was attacked without any supporting data for not performing.
We on this list who love these cars NEED all the support that we can get,
and we also need to know ALL of the details about how one of US, has had
less than perfect service, results or satisfaction from one of those
commercial ventures that has supported us so well.  

Your diatribe about Bruce and Audi Connection was childish and inappropriate
UNTIL you explained what your experience had been.  

I hope that this list will continue to be a useful and complete sharing of
information and experience about the Audi V8 Quattro.  I hope that it
doesn't disintegrate into a place where spiteful little twits indulge in
trying to verbally assault other people who otherwise established their
considerable level of credibility.  

Perhaps you will accept my two emails on this subject in the spirit with
which they were written and intended.  I hope so, because I think it is
pretty obvious right now that Bruce at Audi Connection's reputation is quite
intact and yours is left to be established.

Roger
