Regardless of Mr. REPilfold's views of Jean's posts, pro or con, (or someone
else's posts about the Evo Schools :^) ), his lack of real signature or
name ID is what irked me. Say it proud say it loud. (or is that Randy
Chase's line?)
I am glad to read that he does contribute to his local club. I was hoping it
wasn't David Stamm in disguise (anybody actually ever meet him?).
I know some others were not comfortable with Jean's post last year. That is
why many people headed to an alternative site for autocross discussions. The
work around is to have others post Evo event info. :^)
There are arguments pro and con for those posts. I have mixed feelings on
it. But post no real name in the email or signature, and I am less tolerant.
Personally I'll be happy to repost "brief" Evo announcements. And plug North
American Pylon (800-KT-KELLY), or Hoosier Tires or Hoosier Tom, GEEZ, and
Speedvision. :^) And anyone else who supports Solo 2 (and isn't a tobacco
company).

Cal Club Richard has helped me considerably over the years going faster in
my 240Z. He kinda took me under his wing when I was first starting out back
in 1996 and brought me up to a level where I could benefit from more
advanced instruction. Since then I've also attended a Phase 1 and Phase 2
Evo school with Tom Kotzian and Ron Baur as my instructors. All (including
Richard) contributed a lot to my growth in the sport. Now, since I'm not a
regular poster on Team.Net and occaisionally get in arguments with Mark Sipe
about whether you adjust one or both sides of an anti-roll bar, this post
probably won't carry much weight. But please remember, a person doesn't have
to participate in Team.Net or the Evolution list to contribute a lot to this
sport. I think Richard just had a bad day and posted something stupid. If
not, he'll tell me Sunday when we go at it in BSP at El Toro.
