Why would I bother to ask that if I already knew you weren't?
I get annoyed when people spread misinformation. If you can't remember whether or not a car will start without a timing belt, don't post about it.

EXACTLY

If you don't know something then keep your hands in your pants and off the keyboard. I am so tired of people who post completely erroneous and sometimes downright false information. The amount of drivel posted on these forums that seem to be simply plucked out of thin air or someone's fat ass amazes me.

I have admitted I was wrong, but I take exception to the idea that this entitles you to act like a complete cretin. I suggest you grow up. I regret posting incorrect information, and no doubt you are a perfect person with comprehensive knowledge on all subjects. All hail Ronstang! Are you happy now?

I really don't care anymore....and I said I was sorry and you continued to whine. I'm not a cretin but you can call me one as I don't get my feelings hurt that easy. I grew up a long time ago so I suggest you do so and life will be much easier on you. If you get this upset at some random rambling from some annonymous internet person (me...and I was messing with you......) then the real world is going to chew you up and spit you out. Have a nice day....;)

Again, touche, and fair enough. I just get VERY finicky at having my integrity questioned. I think you might be very surprised at some of the things I have weathered in my life, and the successes I have had under pressure that few could even understand. I just wish the world were a more civil place, and see no reason this forum can't be. In any event, no hard feelings on my part.
