Sad you had to put it into print. Reasonable you put it into print. Dealing with the "general public" has downsides.

Hope people follow and you enforce things if need be.

If issued an "infraction", what does that mean?

Totally fine!

We aren't looking to reinvent the wheel... nothing is expected to change around here. We just needed to have some rules in writing -- actually these rules have always been in place, just had not been in writing.

Most of the rules are either common sense or common courtesy really. They shouldn't need to be posted, but as the group grows it's inevitable we get some riff raff through here from time to time.
Rule number seven doesn't mean I want to read about the GDE tuner on every other post?

Can I advertise that my truck has 94,000 miles without a tuner and all OEM ?

Just curious and with a big smile
Geez, way to take the fun out of it, John!

Can we still at least make fun of Anomaly/Gene and all his facts?? :confused:

Supporting Vendors providing assistance to the Forum or responding to member queries is not an issue...
And the answer to your second question with a big smile is yes.:) That was for Davef and not for mitch to necessarily get carried away with...;)
