yeah and parody threads go on in the road forum and all other forums. as you were informed then report the thread and it'll get taken care of. they are frowned upon and usually immediately locked. you have an issue of taking a single action and painting all folks with that brush. problem is again, coach ex is good, gary is bad, shovel --depends on the day of the week...yet we're all in the same forum doing the same thing.
