I know nothing of this post you mention on the CF Forum. I have never posted on Mike's forum, but I trust his judgment. I believe in Mike and his business - that's why I opened him as a CA dealer.
Furthermore, as a person who dedicated his heart and soul into the efforts on behalf of CA, I would never post anything scathing or defamatory against that company. I'm surprised that you would suggest that Larry, but then again you don't know me other than a few posts here.
Thanks,
Jay

Wasn't suggesting, just wondering who made that Carbon-Forum post...and now you've cleared that up. It wasn't you.
Thank you.
EDIT: I just now received an email from Mike Stone (owner of the CF forum) stating that it was not you, Jay, and Mike's exact words about you were, "I know Jay and he is a great guy and very professional."
Okay, glad that this is cleared up.

I think MacNichol is doing a wonderful thing with the forum, the road trips, and in general supporting the whole carbon fiber thing in unique and innovative ways, so I am sure Michael had his reasons for removing it.
When I was a kid in Junior High, my older brother bought a Rolling Stones album that had just come out, called "Between The Buttons". It had a song on it called "Let's Spend the Night Together". It really was kind of a dumb tune that we would all have ignored, since it wasn't why people were buying the album anyway. But my Dad made a big deal out of the tune in the "name of decency". He whipped out his pocket knife, held up the album, and scratched up just that one track so we couldn't play it. Now, we HAD to hear that tune, so we went over to friends' houses to listen to it, which in turn generated their interest in it - the opposite effect that my Dad intended.
On the CF forum, people have posted and asked if anybody can PM them the removed post. It reminds me of my brother's Stones album.

I agree..if it had been left up it would have been dismissed (I think) as mostly a disgruntled employee...although some interesting conclusions can in fact be drawn from the post.
