Randy,
Is a "gold possum" similar to a merit badge in the Boy Scouts. That brings back memories. I remember how proud I was back in Troop 314 in my old neighborhood. I used to proudly display my merit badges for Switch Blade, Zip Gun, Blackjack, Hot Wiring, Shoplifting, etc. My favorite was for Crap Shooting. Ah the good old days...... A tear whells up in Larry's eye and his heart thumps loudly in his chest . Larry III |

A.) As I said, my opinions are always going to be posted and. more often than not, they'll be controversial. B.) And I still say that you took my message out of context, which is why you call it drivel and why you got so pissed off. I think I can see why you call it drivel, and in that context, you're right. But you're not reading the message, then. Alternately, if it was for the 'once in a lifetime opportunity' line, I stand by it for Eddy's situation and dedication to the site, which are why he was able to devote so much time to this place. My contention is that we will probably never find someone with that much free time. Don't get wrong - I certainly hope we do. C.) No, he didn't have anything better to do, which was part of my point. But having a lot of free time was only part of it. How many posts per day did he make? A lot. D.) That's right - I do know it all. The sooner you realize that the better we'll get along. E.) Larry got it because he works in objective terms. I said the accuracy of the technical information on this site would suffer and he was apparently the only one who read that line. Everyone else saw a chance to get pissed off again. F.) Gold stars aren't awarded for any kind of meritous act. You just have to agree with me - or at least realize that despite our differences of opinion I have a point. We can cooperate all we want, we can have the greatest community of friendly people, but NONE of that makes up for the knowledge of someone who has been in there. Before you get pissed off again, I'm not saying I'd trade community and cooperation for anything - because I wouldn't. I am SIMPLY saying that your ONE statement about us not needing someone with experience and that we can figure it out ourselves is, to steal a phrase, horse puckey.

i dont think i could have said things....
any better than SVX Type R. maybe you saw a different side of eddy than i did mr. pockets, because i just dont agree with you in regards to how valuable eddy was. i have gotten most of my answers on this site just from people who have experienced the same problems. but i am not much of a do-it-yourselfer so maybe that is the difference. anyway it is a shame that got this blown out of proportion anyway.

Anyway, being one of the rare SVX purists, I think I do see a different side and place more value on Eddy's help.

Re: A small distinction that seems to be overlooked...

Anyway, I agree with some of what you said...some of it I didn't. But, hey, that's what makes this so much fun. I saw Eddy's forum as a place to go to ask very specific questions about repairing or servicing Subarus the way Subaru intended. I have no current plans to modify my SVX or my other two Subarus, so his 'garage' fit my needs exactly. As for his knowledge being limited, that's up for debate. Eddy is extremely close-minded about modifying the cars, but he DOES know an awful lot. I don't think I could have repaired my '85 GL by myself without his help. Eddy gave me very specific information about a 16-year-old car. Combined with the details he's provided me about the SVX, I don't find that the word 'limited' fits. Okay, I'm pretty well done with this thread, and I'll forget about it over the weekend anyway. So I just want to make sure I say this: I agree with you concerning your conflicts with Eddy over modifying the car. I think he absolutely could get out of line with some of you, and I'm sorry you had those experiences.

No, really, I don't drink beer. I can't stand the way it smells or tastes. And don't get me started on 'acquired tastes.' Poop could be an acquired taste, too. My point is, if it makes you retch the first time, why try it again?
