    All of them it seems.

    I guess when one knows so much more than the rest of the forum put together, it's hard to be humble.

      Particularly when one is an insufferable prick.

          It's the kinder, gentler, GS Resources.

          I liked it better too. It was more accurate.

              And I've also taken note of teddux's condescending tone.
              He's the first (and only) poster on my ignore list.

              Worthless trolls should be ignored, not fed....

                Yeah, I'm in.

                Done, but it took a few seconds to figure out howto use ignore. Maybe I should have googled it.

                    An apt description for certain. And, IMO, socially acceptable, given the alternative descriptions I would have chosen..

                      Went through the idler jet removal thread. Wow. I think we'll have a general consensus soon. +1 for ignore!

                      P.S. teddux, there's an off-topic forum if you want to rant, keep the ad hominem attacks out of the tech forums.

                        Originally, I had used a word to describe him that is a common familiarization of the name "Richard".

                              What's with this insufferable TU*D.

                              He doesn't even have the guts to tell us where he comes from, or even what country he lives in.

                              Or for that matter what bike he rides. Does he even own a bike.

                              Hasn't he heard of a signature. Or is he just too DUMB to know how to do it.

                              I certainly hope he doesn't live in OZ and I would be running the risk of running into him one day (or is that RUN OVER him someday).

                              If he lived here he would be summonsed to attend a KANGAROO COURT and you all know the end result of that.

                              No more TEDDUX


                              Sorry guys. I don't usually rave on the Technical Forum, but somebody should remove this member once and for all.

                                We already did that.
                                Maybe we separated the boy from the men.
