John Walkers Workshop

John Walkers Workshop, I'll be the first to apologize. With out mentioning any inappriopriate names and/or companies it is from a thread that I started a few days ago that went bad.

Your comment hit me the wrong way and then NickatNYT followed with his comment and I reacted.

I AM SORRY FOR THE INAPPROPRIATE COMMENTS TOWARD YOU.

no problem. we're all just tired of the "subject" and leary of new guys coming in all bright and happy about the "subject". sort of a conditioned response to cut to the chase and flush out fake posters possibly connected to the "subject". it's hard on innocent newbies unfortunately.

i was worried when i saw the title and who started it.

good to see you made amends with JW. i put him on THE top of the list for the guru! after a while i am sure you will too.

reprt card:
JW-
plays well with others S+

drcoastline-
plays well with others S+

it would be nice to the MM post deleted. i have not looked at it in a while, i hope the bad posts arent still going on.
in fact, it might not be a bad idea to give the original poster the option to delete their own post, especially in the parts and cars for sale, once sold, go in a delete the post.

JW is one of the most competent guys on this forum and as straight a shooter as you can find. Good for you drcoastline. I think it's the stress of the holidays that helped that thread go into the pooper - and quickly.

JW rules. Can you believe the accurate, caring FREE advice he gives us Pelicans? If he wanted to, he could set up his own website and charge a fee.

Thanks JW.

I wear crocs during the summer when I'm working on my cars. Stop buying thongs when crocs came out.

I reckon it's semantics and different parts of the country . I wear Birks during the summer, but when I hear "thong", I don't think of sandals, but "butt floss". Now on a lovely lady, I LIKE thongs, but JW ain't one of them....
