Default Time to chill people!!

OK guys, this is getting out of hand. Too much vender/member bashing going on here. That last thread was way out of control. Now you know most of you would not act and speak this way person to person. Let's not do it here. Remember, we all belong to an elite and exclusive brotherhood/sisterhood. No matter what generation you belong to or what model car you own, we are all Corvette owners and supporters. I'm on travel again for the next 3 weeks. The Corvette forum is my only means to relax and chill after a hard day's work. I really don't want to read members bashing and insulting each other.

Gentlemen/ladies lets behave like grown-ups here and have great discussions. I want to enjoy my nights relaxing here with you guys/gals. I'm too old and lazy to go hang out at the "nudie bars". Besides I have to save up some money for Chris and ECS to install some long tube headers next month...

Have a great night folks......Mark

Yea, I'm on the road the whole week. My hotel sucks tonight. I'm on horrid dial-up because the damn high-speed is dead in my room. I had to have dinner with the hotel service guy here working on it. Never did get it to work. Yea, I'm probably PMSing over the last thread, but it really bugs me when people start complaining about what's said in open forum and dictating who should be allowed to say what. Anyway, it did blow off a little "flaming" steam. Sometimes flaming can be fun!

Have a great night Mark!

PS - and to top it off, I am heading to Mississippi on Tuesday.

Yea, man. I know all about bad hotels.... . That's why I'm now with the Holiday Inn Priority Club. They always have high-speed internet and an indoor swimming pool. I'm on travel 2-3 weeks out of every month. Thanks goodness I don't have a spouse. She would have left me long ago... . Good luck in Mississippi. I was at Camp Shelby, MS about a month and a half ago, and it was already HOT!!!!

I wouldn't consider owning a corvette as elite or exclusive. Nonetheless, the four corvettes I own give me great satisfaction and I enjoy them very much. Lets not inflate our heads too much.
