Setting the record straight!

[MK1Scirocco16v at attbi.com (Dave Ewing)]

Hey all!

I just wanted everyone to know that I was sort of gone for a while (wasn't
able to post) but tried to post to individuals when I thought I could help.
I had some computer issues and figured I didn't want to go into fixing my
email accounts until I fixed my computer.

While I wasn't able to post, I see that Dan Bubb had you believing that I
was bugging him at home.  To set the record straight, I only emailed him,
nicely and in a proffessional and helpful way, because I thought I could
help with the A2 calipers on a Scirocco subject.  He flipped and called
names then cried to the list that I was bothering him directly.

I have also had an issue (unbeknownst to me) with Shannon Fenton,
unfortuneatly, spreading rumors about my apparant shoddy work on his 2.0L
16v block.  I had built the block for him then once he started blowing
billowing smoke, he LMK.  I told him that it seemed like a headgasket, they
fixed it, and everything was OK, as far as I knew.  Now, apparantly, it is
burning oil.  Instead of coming to me and asking for help he has decided to
spread rumors about me and whine to others about my work.  At one time I
told him that I would have no problem checking it out and fixing it but got
no reply.  I have recently spoke to others that have had similar things
happen to them with Shannon so I just wanted to make it known that I have
done my part.  The motor was built over 2 years ago and I am still willing
to work on it.

Just be careful who you all listen to when people bad mouth others.  I have
learned from experience that rumors are usually not very accurate.  Sorry I
wasted bandwith for this but this is what I do for extra money while going
to college and supporting a wife and 4 kids and I am very good at what I do.
I don't appreciate having my name maligned.  If this was a "just for kicks"
list, then it would be no biggie, but as there are MANY subscribers who talk
to others with VWs or Sciroccos, this could cause problems with my work.

If anyone has any comments please take it off list as there is no place on
the list for any rebuttals concerning this email.  Email it to me
personally.  I will not say any more on the subject if this is done.

Thank you all!!  I enjoy the list and plan on being he for quite sometime.

SCIROCCO CONTENT!!  My 79 is coming along well and should be running by
fall.  I'm shooting for 240hp and it will be a weekender/show car.
