You often meet interesting characters when you participate in various forums as I do. Here is one that has a most astonishing need for recognition. Moreso I believe, than I've ever encountered! I hope he finds it, and not too many are disappointed with some of his less than wise ideas on some subjects. It is obvious why he's had problems in other threads and forums. A very self righteous, opinionated, abrasive character.

For myself, my goals and enjoyment in the forums are met. I could care less about "stardom" and "fandom" and "followers" and all the rest of that crap sought out by people with inferiority complex issues. All I want is to help people where I can, and get answers to my own queries where possible. This has all been happily done for many years.

You can relax, you are the greatest, the stage is yours, and I wish you luck.

With that, I will ask the moderators to close this tiresome thread, and I personally will lock out 1967Jose's content. Clearly, I have nothing to learn from him!

Lastly, if any of my friends and engine guys from the past are still around, shoot me a PM, and let me know what you are up to, and how any of my many engines out there are doing. Ciao!!
