Yepper. I gotta' admit that web page is even more outta' line than the
worst of Jules' responses... It is still my opinion that Jules was
provoked unnecessarily (and behind the back, BTW)! Therefore, anything
taken from this recent festival is, by it's very nature, out of context
*and* IMHO out of line.
I don't know who the web page author is but I do have one question, do you
have to work for a living and have to put food on the table for yourself
and possibly others? That's not a slam, just a question. My point is,
Jules sells a product and he necessarily lives and dies by the quality of
his products... Your page (currently) deals strictly with commentary by
someone who has never purchased a *product* from MPI. Moreover, the
response from MPI was the end result of a fairly nasty exchange and is
therefore suspect as to it's true representation of the outfit. Your page
makes no mention as to the context of the overall exchange, which I think
it should -- for fairness sake. Don't get me wrong, the initial MPI
responses struck me the wrong way too, but on reflection I realized the
dude didn't ask for this fest... It was handed to him on a silver platter
by the DML!
Bottom line is, I remember the good 'ole days when Jules would post a few
cryptic responses to something and the DML would go round and round trying
to figure out why he said so and so... The end result (as frustrating as
it was) was that there was a lot of thinking going on and *ultimately* a
lot of learning going on too (for me anyway).
T.
P.S. By now everyone has gotta' be thinking I'm his next door neighbor or
we got a business deal for 50-50 of the company.... sorry, wrong! Don't
know him and I've never bought anything from MPI (I'm a bargain hunter and
take my chances w/quality). Hell, I've never even been to TX (well I might
have, but I was too drunk and none of my buddys would tell me where we went
afterwards... I wasn't driving, though... God I'm getting paranoid!).

Wow, thats great. You're my hero by putting up an anonymous page, and
then setting up an anonymous email address. Wonder if there is a
"gutless wonder of the week" award that we could nominate you for. If
you have something to say, at least have the brass to put your name on
it...

Don't appologize Mike. You asked a genuine question which is what this
forum is for. If it wasn't for his attitude there wouldn't be so many
flames flying around the list.

I have setup up a page all the Jules haters might want to look at.
feel free to mail me from it, and help me out in my knoble quest to
expose this jackass. I just sick of seing the dml put down as a whole
from this moron. I don't care what he charges for his stuff. I don't
care how much technical knowledge he has. But I absolutely will not buy
from someone who will take your money, and then insult you the way he
does.
the page is at http://www.geocities.com/MotorCity/Pit/1985/
