    Let me see if we can make you a happy HAMB member.

    40WILLYSCRAZY Your ads will now cost $ 50.00 to post. Cost of a prime rib dinner.

    I donate my time and Moderate the cl***ifieds with pride for
    ( less than a 99 cent burger budget to you) FREE

    I have thick skin and read your displeasure and will more than happy to share my courtesy with you.

    I Moderator for the love of cars - that's what we focus on.
    Sometimes - every once in a while we get distracted by people who unfortuneatley forget how fortunate it is to have a website such as this and sometimes we run into people who just aren't greatful for it.

    Ryan is a great guy who has a great deal of patienence and his common courtesy was explained in his post to you.

    I, on the other hand have just a tad less patience than Ryan and my common courtesy to you is if you don't like it - please don't post in the cl***ifieds.

    Ungreatful people I have no problem with banning or charging $$$$ and donating it to charity. :)

    If I spelled something wrong............ read my courteous post again


    Thank you

    Later

    "I should have also mentioned" that on the positive side, I have bought a couple of items here and have met some very good people here. It has just been dealing with the buyers that has been frustrating to me. I see where this problem belongs to me and nobody else. So basically it is the pics, info and tech articles that are excellent. These keep me coming back. There are alot of positive things here that myself and alot of us seem to forget .

    Wow, lots of opinions here. My 2cents, All of us have basically been supplied with a free network to talk, buy, sell, and relate to like minded people and things. Sure there are people that do what they want, when they want, show me a place that's any different. There's squirels and there are stand ups, like everywhere. For the most part I have had very good happenings with selling (I've sold alot on this board), and very good happenings with buying. Bottom line is "when the money is in your hot little hand it's sold" if ya can't deal with the rest, shouldn't be selling. And to the plea-bay comments, there's just as many ups and downs to that. Thanks Ryan and Mods. for what has been provided for all of us.

    Man,
    I never thought this would take off on so many Branches that I didnt even think could be Drummed Up out of Courtsey to the Poster.

    Alliance Member, Ebay, CraigsList ...

    All I was Venting on was the Lack of Courtsey that I have been Subject to with the "I"LL TAKE IT" & The people who ask a Million Questions & then Disappear.

    Just trying to Jar People who DO Vanish to maybe relize the guy Selling might appreciate a Quick "No Thanks" or even "Kick Rocks"

    Plain & Simple :)

    It's Not the Site or any 1 person, It's Not Ryan or any of the Mods.

    Just what your Grand father should have taught you when you were young ... Maybe you Forgot, I Dunno.

    And as far as my Avitar pic, When I put it in i took a long time to load, Now I cant even Change it .... Yes I tried & yes I tried to post pics.

    Sorry I am not a Wiz on this Damn Rot Box as some of you are, But then again ..... I Bet the ones Giving me **** about not being able to Post a Pic Couldnt Build a 1946 Lufkin Oil Pumping Unit from a Truck Load of Parts to a Working Pump in a Days Work either.

    We All do what we do, Computers are Not my Specialty.

    Niether is Spelling, In case there are some Misspelled Words :D

    The above doesn't sound like old fashioned common courtesy to me. It sounds like someone so desperate to get their point across that they are willing to bite the hand that feeds them in order to do so.

    At the end of the day, you aren't typing AT a computer. You are talking to a person... a real person on the other end.

    All that said, you are welcome to continue using the hell out of our cl***ifieds. I just request that you show a little more respect to the forum and the folks that make it happen - the membership and the moderators. It's just common courtesy.

    If you have the at***ude that 40WILLYSCRAZY has about the H.A.M.B.,why are you here in the first place? I guess just a free place to sell your junk.I hope I spelled everything right. If someone doesn"t get back to you on your ad I guess he doesn"t want it so move on.What really is a pisser are the guys that come on here ,blast the **** out of the board,then come back an hour later saying how good it is just to save face.

    This seems like a really appropriate time to do this:
    I wish to thank each and every person who moderates and or contributes to this forum, I really enjoy the heck out of it and you guys do a great personal and yet unbiased job. The plumber owes each of you a few ice cold long necks and will be happy some day to meet you guys and enjoy them with you. Again thanks. You guys are true gentlemen.

    Man you guys read ALOT into things ...

    Maybe just close the post & I will think Hard about offer my Stuff to the HAMB Buyers .... I have plenty of Great Deals Buying & Selling here.

    Not all of the HAMB users are Super Hot Rodders that spend Many hours a day chatting ....... Some of us Buy & Sell to make our Projects come together, And It sounds kinda Like even though you have the Cl***ifieds that if a guy uses it more than the main Forum then hes a bit beneath the ones who do.

    Sure, I use the Hell outa the Cl***ifieds & Yes I would like a P/M back if your intrested or not.

    But I see that there is Plenty of time to Dig Up My Old threads to use against me to Further the Stand agianst a Simple P/M back.

    Sure, I talk some **** ... Nothing I wouldnt say Face to Face at a Show or swap or whatever.

    As I have said before, Its your Football so play the game as you wish.

    If I don't get Kicked off again I will just Deal with the Pic Collectors & Live with it...

    you dont get it - you are a *******. I dont necessarily see 100% eye to eye with all the mods here either, but its not worth being a jerk about it.

    Geez, bud....

    Common courtesy is all I ask for. It wouldn't kill any of us to show some manners and respect every now and then.
