That theory has been postulated here. The sensible response seems to be that to research the answer is a lot of work, and even then would require cooperation of the ISP that the posters use. Easily thwarted by a public access site.

We are stuck with them until they grow tired of the spew or we stop reacting to the troll. Once the shock value goes away, they will too.

BTW, welcome to the board, your posts have been interesting, one ex-caddy to another.

Couldn't agree more! We old timers have had our political "discusssions" here in the past, and I'm sure we will again. But the "newbie" stuff? I'm thinking it'll go away...oh, about mid November. Welcome, Soulman....waiting for your tales of wrenching caused bloody knuckles on the tech board.

I don't even bother to read their stuff, so I haven't even seen the really furry exchanges.

Welcome to our little dysfunctional family, though. Looks like you picked the best 911 model to start with! ( to the long-hood and Carrera crowds! )

Welcome aboard, and for whatever it's worth, I agree...lately, the OT tone has been a bit over-the-top (on BOTH sides)! Maybe I need to stay in the tech forum 'til Nov ....

I just think it's an R Gruppe plot to divert our attention from their nefarious activities aimed at inflitrating mainstream Porschedom. Have any of U paid attention to the fact that both Jackie Olsen's BB2 (a devout R Grupper) and Curtis AA's (an accolyte of the Meister himself) Black Beast from Hell have made the cover of Excellence? Now thats a hard core R Gruppe plot if I've ever heard of one.

Soulman,

Welcome to the board. Whatever our opinions are on the OT board, we are all agnostic on the Tech board and will help anyone out regardless of how off they are in their political beliefs.

Two tips
1. Read everything there is to read on oil changes and get a really big pan. You might only need to undo two bolts, but the flow is incredible.
2. If you get a Motive Powerbleeder, clamp off the overfill hose off the brake fluid reservoir, otherwise all your new brake fluid will end up on the ground.

"I am 45, a high school history teacher and happen to be black. "

Not African-American, not a person of color? Just like I "happen" to be white, not Canadian-Scotish-American. That's the way it should be, welcome to the board.

What you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul!

All right folks, I give up...I lied. I made up that Yankee911 guy because I am french, and therefore, I will never have any credibility on this board. Especially as far as war is concerned.
And I have been suffering from that since Bush invaded Iraq. I have seen all my right wing porsche buddies turn their backs on me. So, I came up with that little idea. But evidenlty, it does not hold any water. The moral of the story is: you can`t win everybody`s friendship, even if you try hard. So I better be myself, like it or not. Sorry.

Aurel

that makes sense. It explains why someone with a screen name of YANKEE does not speak up on the Red Sox thread...

I thought of Aurel the other day.

There was an ad on NYC TV about how one of Americas' most revered and cherished symbols of Freedom was given to us by the French.

The Statue of Liberty.

I didn't think so harshly of Aurel and his politics for almost 5 minutes.

Then I ordered Freedom Fries with my dinner and the waiter almost lost it laughing.
