WF and the Froggenator have never heard of Master Power Brakes? What planet have you guys been on for tha last two decades? They have full page ads in many of the trade magazines and constantly come out with new stuff. Finally you get spammed by an ON Topic company and it's instantly "PANTIES IN A BUNCH!!!"
I don't know if they are "#1" in the brake aftermarket, or if that can even be accurately determined, but they probably have the best shot at it. Man, are you out of touch.
Yeah, this group has really gone to shit. All I see is Patrick doing his normal mass-media puke, and a few clueless newbies. The newbies would be best served taking their newbie questions to web forums. It's amazing to me that actually knowledgeable people like Warman and Big Al stick around.
FYI: Nobody here want to hear your silly shit, that's why the illustrious Usenet group you created is dead. Don't you have a bottle of crappy ale and a welfare check calling your name somewhere ELSE? What's the matter? Your private little web thing didn't pan out?
You're being funny, right? The irony is too thick.

I love spam. Can't get enough of it. It fills up my inbox at work and at home, and now is a welcome addition to the newsgoups I read. In fact, I'll take a daily dose of spam from ANY automotive supplier over anything you might "contribute."
Your holier-than-thou garbage wore thin years ago.
So, you can't argue with the replies, but you want to hold them up for your own ridicule anyway? Great, ya old fart. That's great.
Glad to see you're still hanging around ramfm to protect us from ourselves.

Yeah, Jason, that is pretty ironic. I mean, if these guys can't
*see* us, then we must be history. Right?Anyway, my post was to point out how incredible it was that you two are unfamiliar with MP Brakes, not to enlighten you about the BB group.
No, and it is, but only because of that question.
Fine. I'll spell it out for you.
"It's amazing to me that actually knowledgeable people like Warman and Big Al stick around."
And here you are.

You were history a long time ago. Interesting that you pop up now. Also interesting what GOT you to pop up.
Hey, there's lots of things I've never heard of. Why did this one set you off?
And, please, I don't give a crap about the "BB group."

Now don't get all sassy on me. It's just sad to come here, because this group used to be really good. It's not now.
So bring something to the table, rather than complain about the content. I don't know how many times it has to be said - the newsgroup is made by those who post, not by those who read.
Patrick's been putting his mass-media puke out here for over a decade. Newbies have been posting the same damn questions as long as I've been here (and I was one, myself). As with anything else, if you don't like the show, change the channel. But in THIS case, you have the ability to control the content of the show, to an extent.

Says you, I still never heard of them. On topic has nothing to do with being spam or not. Commercial advertisements are against the FAQ for all discussion groups on Usenet. Excessive MotorSports had multiple full page ads as well and because one crusty old asshole heard of them certainly doesn't make them a household name.
If you don't like Patrick's posts, don't read them, he's been here a lot longer than you have.
If there were no newbs to ask questions, there would be no reason for people full of helpful information to stay here doof.
Actually I believe Bill S. created this one.
Butt, at least he is consistent and you always know what to expect. :oP
Don't let the knob hit you in the ass on the way out....
I think he was referring to the "other" dead group.

My mistake. You can't lose what you never had.

Utter nonsense. Back it up.
Oh and I'm so impressed. My first Usenet posts pre-date just about everyone's here, so long as we're doing that tired comparison.
You know what? I will, just as soon as I find an AP story about something vaguely on-topic. I will post the URL and be a bad mama jama in RAMFM!!!
