Good lord I hope you're kidding :roll: :roll: :roll: :idea:
Maybe Scott should just quit his job so he'll have time for stupid stuff like that :!:

You aren't really serious, are you?

A vote, I'm pretty sure, counts as a post. And you can't post, I'm pretty sure, until you're approved.

I'm Foto, and I post here, and I vote. Once.

That is correct... members are allowed to post once they have been approved.

I feel as though this thread should say something like "Tune in for another episode of 'As the Prop Turns'." It brings me back to my soap opera watching days 20 years ago!

I have reinstated Bill's account. The majority wanted his suspension lifted so I have done so. Let's use this as an educational experience and move on.

You're right, of course. I spent all night registering new accounrts, slipping them past Scott and Krista, and votig for Bill. Of course, I only did it so that Bill and I could gang up on you and point out how stupid it is that anyone would add yet another layer of sillyness to a members right to vote. It's a freaking website. It's not like anything at all will actually be affected, except Scott's headache will be mildly lessened. Of course, the same result would be gained by certain people finally learning the lesson that personal and political attacks are unwelcome in a place frequented by both sides of the political spectrum. Just because you rnastyness isn't personally directed at me doesn't mean that it doesn't insult me, any more than a n*g**r comment about someone else would make a black man happy. But I don't expect you to get that. You never have.

^Like I said.^
I've already broken my promise to others by even posting to you. It's pointless and just makes me look bad, when it should be you :P

Jack,
Wrong quote for that picture.
It should read;
RR Merlin owner when he finds out what it'll cost to fix!

Note for political correctness- This is not intended to be directed at any specific individual. It is a generic example intended to sterotype all RR Merlin owners and any viewpoint other than that is totally wrong.
Why? Because I said So.
Rich

much better topic for this thread! I was thinking: Mustang owner finally finds out how many other guys have the same paint scheme... :P

Very good. ;) It has something of the charm of a train wreck...

And the visual attraction of some really bad fashion choices...

Thank you.

Remind me - you are in this for the money, power and free rides and beer, right? :roll:
