Dave,
It's interesting that you took the time to participate in this thread even though you felt it was degrading. Even still you just had to throw your comments in to further the degrading.
I have sat here at my computer and read many posts singing the praises of the CAVs and others as well as the ERA. So don't go saying RF is out of line. They made what was a concerted effort to meet the competition. There is nothing wrong with that. The more companies that provide this type of info can only help the consumers. Read and interpret as you may. I saw nothing in the above posts by Robert, Gordon, or me that was inappropriate.
I can't believe that you would actually go back to an appliance dealer just to crow about how he missed a deal and you in some way are punishing him for not selling you the appliances at a lesser price. You got your price, move on. That salesman could have cared less but at least you showed him. At least I understand a little more as to why you fanned the flames on this post.
Your statement says it all..." While I don't care either way, it's interesting that all the pro comments in this thread are from either RF, RF sellers, or RF owners. I'm an ERA buyer/owner and could tout their product over all others, but I don't."
Now it would be easy for some to say that you just touted your preference in an arrogant way, But I won't. I'm very happy that you have chosen the car you want and that you have deep pockets. I don't, so I went with a different choice. I'm proud of the kit that I chose and built myself.
As I recall this thread was started by RF and why wouldn't RF builders, owners post positive comments here?
It seems to me things were going fine until Sean became confused by the post and made several inquiries in order that he could straighten himself out and fully understand as to what was the true meaning of the initial post. Now he could have called or e-mailed or sent a private message to RF asking for further clarification, but noooo, that gets no attention . It's better to get the thread stirred so the participates give him what he wants. Well You and I are giving it to him. I find that I too am weary of these type of discussions. I am tired of getting e-mails about this persons antics. I left another forum for basically the same reason and never returned. At this point I am going to be more of a lurker and less as an active member. Any members that I can help through e-mail or phone, please feel free to contact me. I intend to have Ron remove me from the moderators position as I believe I'm not doing to well as this post can attest.
Dave, no hard feelings but you have no idea as to how much frustration I felt upon seeing your post. Especially after Sean (Meat)sent me an e-mail that was beyond belief. I relent, no contest.
Gentleman, My apologies for the soap opera. I'm taking a needed break. Keep it clean and enjoy your cars.
