Delorean One (Was: Re: [DML] Re: Chassis removal)

["Steve Rubano" <srubano@xxxx>]

I have to respond to this post even though I am new, sorry if I am 
out of line:
I for one donate my time in trying to help others out with their 
delorean questions and answer (and yes I deal with BIG paying 
companies such as AOL and other ISP's and paging companies) along 
with other members on this list. I have even put a website, along 
with half of other members on this list, to donate time and help (and 
yes I do and try to answer questions during the course of my working 
day). Other people like DMCJoe and Rob Grady (the man is like back 
logged with work too!) ALWAYS take the time to answer questions from 
people. I wanted to ask D1 if they had a part that no other vendor 
had in stock and if they did I was going to order it. We all don't 
have time in our busy schedule, like DMCJoe who travels around making 
house calls and repairs finds time to answer questions on this very 
mailing list. Even Rob who works on cars day in and day out, let 
alone designing great replacement parts for our cars makes the time 
to talk to us "do-it-yourselfers". That's called taking care of their 
CUSTOMERS. Even if that person dosen't buy something they asked them 
about, they are sure to return to that vendor/service provider and 
purchase something else because they were helpful and didn't turn 
them away because they didn't give them their VIN numbers or 
something stupid like that. When I posted that question about what 
the deal was, it was because I have never met a vendor who acted like 
that before, I was not putting them down or "bashing" them, I just 
wanted to know if was ME who was a fault. I for one faithfully buy my 
parts from Rob and will continue to do so because if I have a 
question, he is always sure to take the time to answer it or meet 
with me at his shop to show me. And it isn't sour grapes...just 
baffling to me. I am a "do-it-yourselfer" and and don't consider 
anyone else who is a "do-it-yourselfer" on this list to be a free 
loader just because they ask the Pro's questions on something they 
love and want to be a part of. Sure it's easy to drop off your car to 
them and have it repaired, but it's another thing to say with pride 
that "you did it". 

I hope this does not become a thread and that it can end here so that 
we can go on with just plain "question/answer" postings.

Thank you.
