Don't take this shit personally leadfootedfool. There always has to be at least one pre-auto-x event off topic thread (that also does not appear in the auto-x section of the site) where there ends up being a lot of heated discussion and kidding around about who is faster than who.
Its just your luck that your particular war story has become the place for the Saturday event trash-talk-a-thon.
I look forward to seeing you there.
