Message	First off, I'm not trying to start something with you, and I know that you did CLEARLY say: "I think all vendors should just blacklist them." You did not say Z1 or mention Z1 in anyway. However, since you are an employee of Z1 and your screenname is John@z1, you should definitely post some sort of disclamer such as: "The opinions expressed here do not necessarily reflect those of Z1 Motorsports or its owners. Nor have these opinions been approved or sanctioned by them." Russell and John may completely agree with your last statement, I have no idea. But, you should make it clear that your statement was your opinion and your opinion alone, unless you know that it is not a problem. It may be obvious to most people, but why take the chance? I think that John and Russell would appreciate that. This post is not meant to be condescending in any way, shape or form. Moreover, this is not meant as legal advice. (My own legally required disclaimer.) It's just something to think about. We all know how heated TT.net debates can get and how small the Z32 community is. There are rivalries and tensions that go way back to the birth of twinturbo.net and most probably before then. The Z32 vendor community is very competitive, as I'm sure you know. Statements like that, which live forever in the TT.net archives could be detrimental to Z1's business in the long run, especially when people reading these posts have no context. Again, I'm not saying this from a soapbox. Just a word of warning for the wise as I've seen good employees lose jobs over silly blog entries found by an employer. Raj
