________________________________________________________________________________Seams 
I have to be redundant again. many  lines in my post I have stated before, 
some lines many times before. Seams folks just don't get it, don't care, or 
are sick enough to take pleasure in the suffering of others for their own 
satisfaction.
I have been very busy, and my e-mail has been troublesome of late. I had 
intended to post long before now, and tried this morning ( 2/25/05), only to 
have some of my posts come threw. Sorry Tom, my signature was not on those 
post because of my e-mail problems, not because of you. Sadly, I don't have 
time to write or chat, or answer questions as much as I would like to on the 
list. Ofcourse I have been the target of individuals attacks many times 
before on this list for doing nothing more then to offer help ( to clarify) 
to other list members. To my knowledge , I have not come out and blasted 
someone that has not started something with me 1st. I might have posted 
something that seamed to rag on someone,  that in fact were innocent.( how 
it was read that way I don't know, Jeff, I believe Reeves, over George  ( 
ANYBODY) at WSC. Not starting anything with you Jeff).
It is a shame that folks with AMCs can't get along. I bet everyone wants 
world peace, no violence and all the "GOOD" things that end mans struggle 
against himself. But few are willing to stand up and do anything about it.  
How many saw the news with a man beaten in a pizza parlor? The video showed 
people standing around and doing nothing. If I were the district attorney I 
would bring all of them in and charge them with  "complacency", and as 
accessories. Society states that if an individual (s) stands by or allows 
activities or   actions to take place that are unjust then that person is 
also GUILTY ( Nuremburg 1946). Just like at an accident, YOU MUST RENDER 
AID, if not you can be charged with a criminal offence.  What if these same 
people where on the 9/11 Hijacked jet that went down in Pennsylvania? We 
would have had a greater tragedy.
It is a shame, that some one stands up of someone else and gets run over for 
it.
THANK YOU RANDY FOR STANDING UP FOR ME! I would also like to thank the folks 
that posted to the list ,e-mailed and called me with support.
THANK YOU ALL!
This list is supposed to be rated "E" FOR EVERYONE!
Bill Schaefer, has sons who are the NEW blood coming up to take our places, 
what happens when they leave? How many others have been turned off buy AMCs 
and the people who own them, JUST BY THEIR ACTION ( this is NOT about 
Randy)!? Bill, I hope your sons continue to enjoy AMCs, I know it can be 
hard. Realize that the reason you and many others don't know why something 
is, is usually do to a lack of the all the facts ( knowledge, the whole 
story etc.), or one gets mislead.
Worst yet is in Jesse words:
" There are not enough AMCr's out there for us to be throwing out the Baby 
with the Bathwater."
To attack and belittle another AMCer ( for that part, ANYBODY) , lie, cheat, 
steal, and conspirer against another for NO reason, IS by ALL religions , 
countries and civilized society, WRONG!, and a grammar lesson is NOT a 
reason. The hobby is about the cars, and the cars are NOTHING with out 
people, so its really about the PEOPLE.
By attacking folks who are trying to help, you no longer have a community,or 
civilization , you have chaos, clicks and down right criminality. You chase 
off what is good in order to replace it with WHAT?!
Doug states the facts:
"Randy, my friend,

This is precisely why I do not add comments on this forum very often.
When you do make comments it is as easy as shooting fish in a barrel for
others, often those who have nothing to contribute to our community
except flame others, to make a big stink and jump all over you with all
kinds of slanderous crap.  You are right, pot stirring is exactly what it
is."

This list was FULL of AMCers that tried to help, only to be run off buy 
groups of thugs and scoundrels ( clicks).
These people find intimidation, belittlement and other tacts the why to get 
what they want. Self-gradification at the expense of others.
Well I am still hear, I have not posted for a verity of reasons, time is 
one, BUT the biggest reason is the crap.
And who really suffers?, the rest of US. I could be spending this time on 
other post I intended on writing , giving information a HELP to others. Were 
have YOUR posts led US TOM? Where is the HELP in your post, where is the AMC 
content?
Jim Blair, your post is short and sweet, just what I am saying. I do however 
say that you should stay. If you believe what you have written, then the 
list and hobby NEEDS you, and more like you.
Rick, this goes for you. You did a great job up in Canada for the AMC folks, 
don't leave. Stay, and you too can help make a difference.  Please remember 
HOW all this got started.
John Mahoney brings up good points too, and once again in line with what I 
am saying. I will have to break with some of his thinking, only in defence 
of myself ( my business), and if you draw 1st blood, I will finish it. If 
you post publicly, I will rebut publicly.

As for Randys posts, many have criticized and many have rejoiced over them, 
and particularly these of the past few days.
Randy is right on many issues, and if Tom had not posted his unnecessary 
post, NONE of this would have happened! Now Randy could have kept it to the 
fact that Toms post was unnecessary, and its content suspect and left it at 
that. BUT we don't know the whole story ( and I'm not going to tell it, 
might not know it all myself). Most of you have no ideal what it takes to 
run an AMC parts business, FULL TIME. The same money I spend on AMC parts I 
can spend on Ford and Chevy parts, and sell MORE. I can spend the same 
advertising dollars on Ford and Chevy parts, and get a greater return. I ask 
myself all the time WHY I just don't go and sell other make parts? Because 
my hart is not in it, I know AMCs and that's were I WANT to be. The vendors 
and members that get chased off only do harm to the hobby.
Which in reality harms US all . I know and understand the legal business end 
of it, and the " I have a hobby business", I started out that way, now I 
have a registered business. Tom has butted heads with Randy before, and 
there ARE HIDDEN AGENDAS ON THIS LIST. I can continue, but I really have to 
get back to my customers needs, and write to Tom. So this is how all this 
started:
Some one posted about SC/360 stripes, they could have gotten an answer from 
me had they contacted me, and not a brunch of other folks who DID NOT KNOW. 
Then he might not have posted at all, but he did. So I posted, sense I HAVE 
FIRST HAND KNOWLEDGE of the decal, and the photo , straight from the horses 
mouth, ME, I am responsible for the decal and the photo. This was to inform 
him and others of the TRUTH (  there is that bad word again). To HELP, to 
CONTRIBUTE,  to participate. My post was not ATTACKING, or BELITTLING 
anyone. TOM has to chime in with WHAT!?!!???, Something that had nothing to 
do with helping with an AMC related problem, NOTHING!!!! At that point, TOM 
should have been TOLD  to stop, and he was, but other things were added, and 
because of OTHER LIST crap, you have what we had here.
