Please note that
The F-F-F-Four-Cycle Page had to be renamed
The F-F-F-Four-Strokes Per Cycle Page after one of the posters in this thread chastised me for using the technically incorrect term
Four-Cycle, thereby proving beyond all doubt that I am indeed an idiot. Since I can't possibly argue with that logic, at least I feel better knowing that I'm in pretty good company with the idiots at
Briggs and Stratton, the
Four-Cycle people. See for yourself:

(Trivia note! Briggs and Stratton started and built their business making "2 Cycle" engines. It's on their web site!)
And now for your enjoyment, here's the most irate reply I've ever received to date about
The F-F-F-Four-Strokes Per Cycle Page:

You are a genuine idiot. Your 'scientific proof' of why a two-stroke sounds more scale is so completely flawed and bogus I wouldnt know where to begin to set you straight. If everyone were flying P-51's, your theorys might be of a little more utility...... I dont know how aware you are of this, but FEW planes use a V-12 Merlin engine. Use your ears! If nothing else. True, 4-strokes require more maintenance and attention than a 2-stroke, this is because they have many more moving parts and require a lot more adjustments! They require actual THOUGHT by the owner/operator in order to use and maintain them correctly..... making them just a little too much to handle for dumbassess like yourself. I do not use 4-strokes exclusively, but I do own a few of them, and I have NEVER had any problems because I know HOW TO USE and maintain them. Just wanted to share this with you.

As for some of you in this thread, (and you know who you are........well, maybe you don't), I think the rest of us may have discovered some new runners up in the
Most Humorless Modeler competition.
Thank You Daven and JohnBuckner for actually recognizing tongue in cheek humor when you see it!
(I'm afraid to post my reply to "d.d.", because some of these F-F-F-Four-Cycle F-F-F-Fanatics might take it serious!)
