It appears that you have now added me to Jack and Glen as people you have a problem with, that gets us up to three at least. However, an accurate recount of all you have offended and verbally abused here would show that number to be far higher. I do read everything on this site, but if you can't take my very specific advice and go someplace else where you might be more welcolme at least take your own advice and try not reading those things you don't agree with.

Well if disagreeing with your generalization constitutes having a problem with you - I suppose by that definition you are right. If you want to count the number of people "verbally abused and offended here" I would respectfully request that you include Jack in your analysis!
Lets do a very quick readers digest version of what has gone on here - as I suspect some are getting lost.
1. I come looking for info on rollcages - get many suggestions take them all into account - and chose to go with the guy with the most experience.
Jack goes apoplectic because I did not listen to him and choose his buddies company.
2. I ask for help on the interpretation on the electrical cutoff switch - I am very specific - I am looking for interpretation of the rule . Jack Immediately castigates me - turns out Jack didn't know the rule - and I did - but that didn't stop his onslaught of "you don't listen to me - so you are an idiot" attacks. -
3. I come here looking for sources for a reasonably priced fire suit - after it becomes clear I am getting jacked around by a supplier. Several members here offer great suggestions and sources - jack suggests deist - others suggest other places. I call every company and lead suggested - and thanks to members of the forum end up with a great suit at a great price - Jack again goes ballistic on me because I didn't follow his "advise". When I point out his "advise" would have cost me an extra 700 bucks - he launches into attack mode again.
I have come to this forum many times seeking advise on just about everything - from tires and rims, to window tabs, to roof rails, to aerodynamics, to rules interpretations, to a myriad of other issues and problems. In almost every case members of the forum have been incredibly helpful and patient in answering my questions and giving me advise. In every case I have used that advise to successfully solve a problem or an issue. unfortunately - If Jack suggests something - and I choose not to follow HIS advise (past performance is an indicator of future performance!) he immediately launches into the "You don't listen to me - so you are an idiot" attacks.
I am incredibly grateful for all the help and information I have received from various members of this forum - I just don't see why I have to be subjected to abuse heaped onto me for following someone elses advise - as opposed to worshipping at the feet of the almighty all powerful Jack!
I am not alone in this persecution - Jack has lots of other favorite targets - they just aren't willing to waste the time pointing out the obvious issues associated with Jack and his MO.
BTW - seeing as how I started these threads - I think it would be good form for me to actually read the responses - how else would I get the help I need!
