Actually this has been a reasonable debate , I can't comment for the current Mod's but when I was a mod this type of thing would be let run UNTIL it became personal and the discussion on the different frames became attacks on the builders . Mini engine conversions are still fairly new in the scheme of things and there are different ways of doing the frame so talk like this is helpful for others contemplating a conversion .

I've just re-read my post .... I wasn't trying to say that the talk in this thread had turned into personal attacks , just that debates like this are fine and only become a problem if they cross the line and become personal , which this one didn't .

It brings to mind something you said to me one time - the written word loses a lot of detail from inflection and tone so things can get confused... or something like that

Most of the time if anything gets heated, it's because someone's taken another the wrong way.

Its called impact and intent....

Meaning - "What you thought I said is not necessarily what I think I was trying to say"

That's it exactly , people are pretty good here and often it isn't malicious , just misunderstood . There have been a few really narky ones though ....

Tricky , that's a good sig quote , I'd use Matts but it's too complex
