I'm pretty broad minded, thick skinned and don't mind a bit of banter. However in the past I've seen some quite sharp responses to what one member posts on the Forum, almost a recoil reaction. The one today, post #15 about engine balancing is plainly unpleasant, unnecessary and degrading; I wouldn't like to have read that about something I wrote. I do sometimes find his posts a little difficult to interpret but I respect his point of view - but I don't have to believe him, or anybody else for that matter, or take any notice if I so choose.
Austin Seven FRIENDS is the Forum banner, we should stick to that motto and be constructive.

I must admit that I was a little taken aback by the response, but we can all have a bad day
I am always interested in any information about Rosengart details or current owners.

If I only contributed something when I really knew what I was talking about there'd be a bloody long silence!

What about those who regularly post un-constructive and misleading information Colin, how would you suggest we deal with that? Alan is extremely knowledgeable and very well qualified to provide accurate first hand advice and regularly does, it is wrong to make him the villain here when he simply snapped following repeated provocation.
Martin, when you don't know do you make an emphatic statement that something you are suggesting is a fact or true, no I think not, like most of us if it is simply an opinion or something we have read somewhere and not based on first hand experience we say so don't we?

HI Ian, I was talking in general not about any one in particular so please don't blow it out of proportion I was not making any one a villain
