Just an observation, but there are more vendors ads in the General Discussion section than there is general discussion. Shouldn't the vendors be placing their advertising and self-promotions in the For Sale areas? This seems to be the only forum I have seen where vendors can get away with this. Not trying to start a war, but I want to read about problems and solutions, and discuss others rides. Isn't that what this section is for?

OK, go ahead and black-ball me now...... Doh!

From the Forum Rules and Guidelines Section:

https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...l-posting.html

If you don't want to read the advertisements on theis Forum you have 2 choices:

1) learn to recognise them and skip over them. Pretty easy to do.

2 ) find a forum that doesn't allow this and hang out here.

Like the advertisements or not they are not going away anytime soon.

Threads complaining about this topic are usually locked quickly by the moderators after pointing out the above guideline.
