As I've never actually taken a look at that newsgroup before, I
decided to skim through just now to see what's up. I was curious about
the guys who sided with Brently. I spent about 15 minutes reading this
and that.

Well, I'll tell you this: I've never seen such a conglomeration of
self-righteous, misguided, and paranoid geeks, nerds, and dorks in my
life. The amount of time these idiots spend dredging up pointless news
articles to impress each other is incredible.

What *real* drivers accept as the game of travelling from one point
to another, these buffons use as fuel to feed an eternal, do-nothing,
whining machine who would have the world believe they are the upper
crust of cage pilots. I could *feel* the increase in blood pressure
just reading the subject lines.

Now I know why Brently ASSumed I was "lashing out" at him. This is
what he's used to. He bathes in a cauldron of toxicity. Thank god I
have the brains not to waste my life on constant, impotent, redundant
critiquing of events and situations that have little to no bearing on
my daily affairs. Now I know the ilk that spawned Road Rage.

What a pack of complete losers. They be very scary.

What? no guts to cross post it CJ? Don't worry, I took care of it for
you. I'm sorry that I upset you so much pointing out the emperor has no
clothes.

Your kind sickens me. You sit there and just live with each loss of
liberty in this nation, not just the games of driving, but all the games
and scams that are run on us as a people. You're kind is bigger cancer than
the evil of the "owners" as you called them could ever be.

While you whiners masturbate with keystrokes, I'm building a 32x72 shop
*myself* in Arizona weather so I have a better place to build my muscle
cars. That way I can go out and leave you dorks and your faggy cams in
a cloud of tire smoke. You're all worthless and weak.

Hypocrite. You geeks sit there and bitch and moan and pop your meds
and what for? Talk is cheap. DO something. How many members of rad have
actually succeeded in changing something they whine about? My guess is
none. If your pursuit is so noble, then it falls upon YOU to get
results. Otherwise, shut the fuck up.

You always need to strut around and say what a man you are... insecure
much?

A wave of Keep right to pass laws across the nation, end of the NMSL,
higher speed limits in MI, stopping an idiotic DRL requirement, and few
other things r.a.d regulars have been involved with over the years.

Prove it. The speed limits were raised here in Phx. a few years ago.
You want to take credit for that, too?

I take it you cross-posted this for a reason? Gee, I'm waiting for
the wimps to kick my ass.

insecurity at it's finest.

I am not personally taking credit for anything. JCWCONSULT (Mr. Walker)
was very much involved in the speed limit issue in his home state of MI.
Daniel Stern has been involved in lighting issues for years. ( I was a
member of a group against DRLs back then, and between that group and
alerts from Mr. Stern put in a couple comments to the USDOT regarding
idiotic proposed regulations. So did other r.a.d regulars) Many
r.a.d regulars are members of the NMA, the organization responsible for
ending the NMSL, which of course allowed for speed limits in excess of
55/65mph in your state. Various regulars have written their state
representives regarding keep-right-except-to-pass laws as well.
(that includes myself). You can search google groups for the details if
you're really interested.

Just one small part of a much larger picture. Of course as you have
freely posted you rely on us 'geeks' to do the work of a free society.

Just wanted you to insult people to their 'face' so to speak.

Geez, who would have thought that a Mustang aficionado would use
phrases like "man up" and then invite me to try to "kick his ass."
And you wonder why I don't hang out there. (well, aside from the fact
that I've never owned a Ford in my life.)

Thanks for perpetuating the stereotype of a mullet-headed, PBR-
drinking moron. You're doing a great job, Brownie. Why don't you go
troll one of the ricer groups, that ought to be fun.

Oh, and eat some Studebaker-powered tire bits. (since you had to go
there)

....certainly glad that the few vehicle-specific fora that I do
frequent don't generally exhibit this level of enlightened discourse...

Actually the precursor to the NMA I believe was involved in lifting
the original "hard" 55 MPH NMSL and allowing 65 MPH Interstate speed
limits, although I wasn't a member back then.

You do realize, don't you, that it's "geeks, dorks and nerds" that
spend time sitting behind their desks crunching numbers and/or at
dynos, flow benches, and test tracks observing minutae that make your
vehicle what it is? Without them, what would your car be like?

Of course, without another subset of "geeks, dorks and nerds" you
wouldn't be able to post your message; there would be no Internet,
Usenet, WWW, or even BBSs without the people that made it possible.
The very people you ridicule are responsible for so many of the things
in life that you take for granted. Now the question is, what do *you*
do for a living that contributes so much more to society than the jobs
only filled by "geeks, dorks, and nerds?"

I don't know what the hell happened, when did it become uncool to be
intelligent? Without scientists, engineers, computer guys, and other
"dork" types we'd all be subsistence farming, I guess you're OK with
that though.

I said no such thing, however, it bears some thought. Let's see, in
my role as a schoolyard bully (your input there), it is my job to
administer Atomic Wedgies and steal your lunch money. In keeping with
that, I guess letting the geeks do the work while I reap the benefits
might be a good thing.

Personal thanks to anyone involved in keeping the the fast lane
clear while I peel the paint off the cars in the #2 lane.
If you used Google properly you would have discovered that this is
probably the most futile gesture imagineable.
