If any of you ever have any doubts about how friendly the Quattro
List, I
invite you to go to the A4.org forum and see all the rude posts,
insults and
intolerance to simple questions that occur on a daily basis.  I
have been a
Qlister for a short time now, and started cruising the A4.org
forum and
couldn't believe the difference in attitudes between the 2
lists.  The guy who
runs the A4.org site is a great guy (Jason Teller), and he has
helped me with
several questions, but the loud minority at his site are get too
much of a
kick throwing insults and name calling to each other.

One theory I have for this is that just about everyone on the
A4.org forum is
an X-BMW or X-Acura owner, and therefore have no interest in
helping each
other out.  Everyone at A4.org is a first time Audi owner, and
this seems to
be part of the reason they could care less about an Audi
brotherhood.

Anyway, the point of  this is to let you know what a nice bunch
of guys you
have on the Quattro List, and let's make sure it stays that way.

Amen, Trevor.

I've been with the list for several years now. I also frequented
the a4.org ever since I bought the A4. No comparison. The
camaraderie is next to non-existent there, name calling if
frequent, lot's of anonymous posts (and I have a rule to never
even bother to read an anonymous post, let alone answer it) etc
etc.

I guess this is a side effect of not having to sign up for the
list. Any anonymous passer-by yahoo can leave his "audis stink"
bait to enjoy an avalanche of responces like "you stink yourself"
etc.

There are some very knowledgeable fellows on a4.org, willing to
offer help, (Jeff Davidson for one) but they are few and far
in-between. Once again, no comparison with our list.

I virtually quit posting to A4.org several mos ago. Sad. Great
forum, user friendly layout, searcheable archives :-)
