Well, I have stayed quiet up until this point, but here goes:
I specifically read a post from you to cannondale27 that in short words said "if you don't agree with me, please leave my site". That you will never read here. I guess after you deleted it, we won't read it there either. With the knowledge that Steve (27) has, I would be a fool to invite him away from this site. Brave move, and feel lucky you didn't lose him.
As for post getting deleted, there is NO post that gets deleted around here, unless it DOES NOT fit in the RULES that are posted clearly to follow. Those rules are to protect our paying site sponsors. Mr. Hillman, would you care if I come onto daler and start posting 450 kits for sale? How about gasket kits?
I spoke with Jim (when he owned daler) about this, (and I have donated to that site several times.) He informed me about the broken promises people make, "let me sell 20 plugs, and I'll kick in $1 per plug for the site" that 8 out of 10 times does not happen. That is the reason for any deleted posts on this site.
However, you will not see a deleted post/thread for someone saying " I ordered parts 6 months ago, where are they". If you orderd parts, you should know where the order stands at any point.
As you know, I do business with Maz, however getting my parts is a slow affair, and I compensate for it. He is actually in dept to me at the moment, and low and behold I can't reach him.
As for this being "my show" this is by far my show. I have this site to keep the cannondale's out there running. You don't know how many people I talked to when the crank fiasco was going on who parted their dales out, or junked them and bought a yamaha so they could ride. I truly believe these are great bikes, and have made a commitment to keep them running. Maybe I didn't work at the factory, but working their doesn't automatically make you any more knowledgeable than someone who has been into these as much as say wisetech/c27/timbo/ etc. etc.
So, with that off my chest, please come back Brian, I hate to see a member go. As with Maz, he is welcome anytime. Anytime you guys want to go out and eat a nice dinner on the east coast, call me.
