Even when I just try to visit a forum I don't get any respect.
When I go to the DieselPlace thread, it tells me:
You do not have permission to access this page. This is due to one of the following reasons:
1: You are not wearing a red hat (good) or a blue hat (better).
2: Mr. Noonan did not put you on the guest list.
3: Our system has detected that you are not in southern California.
