Ed on this one I disagree, First off telephones a very impersonal form of discussions, I am quite sure if this discussion occured face to face with Bob Davis your opinion would be much different, He does have a vast knowledge of model aircraft and engines going back over 50 years and is only trying to share this information, after receiving it you are free
to act on it any way you want. I have met Davis several times here in Florida and you do not have the time restraints of a phone. The same type of phone conversation you describe with Davis I have had also and found it interesting. It also occured with the Late Paul Landels of Just Engines and several years later we spent some together on his visits to Florida

You missed my point entirely, Dan.
I never write anything on a forum that I am not willing to say directly to someone's face. I am not implying that you said otherwise.
I am fully aware that many people behave differently in person than when on the phone or writing in a forum. Having been a ham radio operator for many years, I have seen this phenomenon demonstrated many, many times.
I've been saying all along that Bob is a very knowledgable person who sells great products at good prices. I am not anti Bob.
Ditto on the forums.
When someone writes a question to the Diesel Forum, it is because they do not know something and they need information.
If I didn't deep down like Bob and have a lot of respect for his intellect, I wouldn't have bothered to write any of this stuff. I have made my point the best that I can, so there is no point in repeating what I have said. As far as my participation on this particular topic is concerned, I am through as of now.
