Since my IP address is banned on horsepower, and they are porting everything in as to not take the risk of being taken to court, I'll post my views here, knowing very well that regardless of how we feel here, they are still going to snatch posts from this news group in order to boost their own post and traffic counts on their web site. So with that said, something to ponder
"Guests are asked to come in and join the party. Never are they forced to be someplace they do not want to be."
As for common, not quite dear Christian (now aka: mustang), while you think it is common, think about it from my own perspective. I helped start this news group back in 1995, you come in and grab all of the posts (now called threads on your forum), what I consider to be intellectual property of this news group (more on this at a later date), and again, pad your own post count to make your web site look more appealing to the masses. Then again, I still wonder about the association with 2Playcorp in all of this.....Not to sound a little paranoid, but, I do wonder what you will do with all of the information gathered from this new web interface. After all, I do see the correlation of this company, and the lack of a privacy clause in your user agreement...Kind of makes you wonder folks, now doesn't it..............In closing, I have to ask, if we are such honored guests, why block the IP addresses,of the majority of those on the rec.autos.makers.ford.mustang news group???? just does not make any sense now does it.................
Again, just my own two cents worth. Can't wait to see what turns up and where................

The author of this post strictly prohibits horsepowered.com and it's parent company 2playcorp.com from using it on their web site. But that does not really matter to 2playcorp or it's CEO, the real owner of the web site your most likely reading this on.
PS: Loved the sushi quote, by gee, why did it now show up on the RAMFM news group. A little game playing, again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
