Albrecht, your PM box is full sir.
Observation
There are a few people on here that genuinely try to provide detailed and informative information in an “attempt” to help, assist and educate people, I for one know because as most know I eat sleep and breath the technical element of them almost to the point of a love affair, Alan has that passion many times above and beyond that.
Often these exchanges end up getting a little out of hand but in many occasions the “sarcasm” is somewhat deserved by the attitude and demeanour of the “injured” party.
Riddler, seriously!, you can’t expect to make comments as you did, to someone as passionate and not get at least some flak back in return, if it were a technical exchange and I had gone out of my way to make an informed response, I would have done the same.
Management
Stop being so happy clappy on one hand and overzealous on the other (point in case the eagerness to over moderate what amounted to a “warm” exchange), fix the hypocrisy with your moderation framework……point in case, you allowed a member to post unacceptably abusive comments at Alan and yet was not banned, the posts magically disappeared, the offender had tea with a committee member and it went quiet ….. But the moment certain others put their head above the parapet they get shot down….. This isn’t your private playground, some of you need realise that the S30 may have stopped production decades ago but it’s still an evolving, moving feast, new knowledge and adaptions are emerging every day and it’s the clubs duty to be the standard bearer of the facts for present and future owners.
Others
Enjoy and learn more about the cars ….
