I no longer post on here but a fellow forum member "denneys69" asked me to put these up....and I agreed.

Some might have been here individually before but now they are all in a bunch in a single place. Enjoy...

Me too; this is the first I've heard that he doesn't post here anymore.

First I heard, too. Although I've never met him, he seems like a friend.

Something we should know, Frankie?

Mike

By the way, cool pictures!

I remember a magazine ad from my childhood -- as I recall it was an open two-car garage which contained a Corvette and a Camaro. And below the picture was printed: "We'll Take On Any Two Other Cars In This Magazine." Anybody remember it?

Spending too much time on here and my consulting biz has ramped up again, but mostly, the personal attacks and criticism about nearly every post I make by certain members (whose cars are never pictured on here BTW) has crossed the line. I, like several other forum members of note, have had enough. I'm not particularly thin-skinned, and not a whiner, but its tiring to constantly try to rise above the nonsense to share advice and real world experience with forum friends - I admire those that still can. I've always tried to keep my post light-hearted, self-effacing and informative and it just seems to rankle some.

I'll be glad to answer any PMs about any previous posts that I have made.

Same here. It's the only way I can spend any time looking at the C7 forum.

Frankie,

I enjoy your insight/experiences taking apart and putting 'em together. Hope you do take a 2nd look at your stand to not post here. A lot of folks besides myself DO enjoy/learn from your efforts. Hang in there. Truly if someone is rubbing you consistently the wrong way on the forum, like SpartyGW suggests, hit the bloody ignore button.

Me too! As a younger one here, I need the wise voices. I'm often offended by some attitudes around here, but in the whole it's a great crew. Don't you also believe it deep down? Give it some more thought... Just saying.

Frankie:

Your insight and knowledge on this forum is worth more to people like me that want to learn about our hobby, than those that ridicule!!!

STAY WITH US...

Seriously, just ignore them (didn't even know there was an ignore button). Your posts and information are informative (you even post pics, which is nice).

That's great your consulting biz is taking off and if that was the reason for decreasing your post frequency, I would say, wish you all the best on your endeavor. But if it's because of bullies, screw 'em!!!

Agreed. I don't post often as I can typically find the answers to most questions easily - and the answers come from a few - one of them being Frankie.

Please just use the ignore feature when needed.
