[Shotimes] Re: GMS sues Pro-M and shuts them down

[Ron Porter]

I drilled down into the link that Ian provided, and saw a couple of
Granatelli's posts on the subject. There's probably some history behind all
that, but his posts seemed reasonable to me, then folks on those lists were
jumping all over his case.

The thing here is that MAFs are not a hot item as much as on the Stang
lists, as IMHO the folks who want one generally already have one, and with
the low number of SHOs out there (versus Stangs), MAFs are not a daily hot
topic.

Damn you guys are living in the dark ages. I've been watching this go 
down on the the stang boards I belong it seems like forever, Oh well I 
think the last thing I really read with any interest was a couple guys 
from ProM moved a flowstand to Lansing Stole some software and are up 
and running. All and all pretty a pretty interesting read if you hit 
every board Granatelli posted on,
