Re: Additional torsen stability factor - was Alignment

Like someone else before me just said... AWW...  S**T..., now I'm gonna
have to get into this too!

Don't worry - this is not a technical discussion (that's not my style.)

It's not an etiquette issue either, but common sense. I've noticed (over
many yawns) that these intended "helpful, developmental, exploratory"
posts have once again taken on an unnecessary nasty twist.
My interpretation is that most of the contributors are trying to be
helpful and do not really brag, boast, or attack. For example:  Phil's
experience (and sense of humour) has helped every single person on this
list, and his driving stories are illustrative and used to make a point;
Greg A. has never bragged about his driving skills, lap times, or
anything else (except to say that he's "driven the piss out of his 200"
like many of the rest of us) and one should note that his resume - which
certain other individuals keep referring to - is posted for perspective
and experience considerations. The fact that he's spending time leading
a discreet initiative to boost braking power on our overweight,
overchipped sleds is fine with me - at least I'm not getting banged over
the head with it. Dave has been quite diplomatic in this round of talks,
to his credit (and of course we'd all like to visit him someday.) Gary
is being extremely sensible about the whole thing, and has the perfect
skillset to perhaps extract some sort of conclusion from this mess.

So to summarize, I think it's a few (very few) people who've taken what
should be an interesting discussion to the level of shouting, challenges
and braggadocio. Please stop yelling and puffing your chest, really,
we've heard enough of how great you are.
Thankfully I've never been confronted with this mysterious b*te, even
though I too drove the piss out of my old wagon on a rainy, slick
Watkins course a few weeks ago... but i'm all ears to learn of the
possibilities if the discussion is held in a mature, helpful manner.
My two pence.
