    there are always some "fools" online

    Thought everyone here would like to read this.

    http://forums.rennlist.com/rennforums/showthread.php?t=162777&page=1&pp=15

    A poster (christer) calls them fools, I would call them jerks. But you can't escape them on these boards. Thank God a 928'r lent some common sense to the discussion. Kinda funny what small minds will come up with.

    Re: there are always some "fools" online

    After reading on to the other pages and finding the 928 owner's post I get it now. People get so uptight. I mean it's not like it's over MSRP, or even at MSRP.

    Tom...ever heard of the word "envy"?
    This guy is selling a brandnew car below MSRP, I don't see a problem with that, even if he makes some profit. He had all the hassle to go to the dealer, to order it, etc., why not make a little profit? Pure Envy...nothing more.

    Thanks for posting the link, I learned a lot about human behaviour after reading all the posts regarding OH997's offer.

    Hilarious!

    RC, I don't even think it is due to envy - those people have a way of thinking I just cannot understand.

    Maybe a lot of women on that board over there...

    So Christian, have you noticed that it tends to be Americans that are critical and Europeans that are in support? The Americans are often well off, educated businessmen also.

    America is a bastion of free-trade and capitalism? And yet, the American seem to be proposing the line that collectively they should limit speculative trading to avoid prices being pushed up. Collective bargaining to avoid the effects of supply and/or demand is a sign of ... unionism.

    Interesting world we live in.

    RC's comments are right on the mark. Some people just can't "live and let live".

    Yes Tom, democratic with a small "d".

    You need to learn how to comment here without taking personal pot-shots at people Tom. Try responding to what I say rather than who I am.
