Dear Volvo,
As much as I hate to use the discussion board for this kind of crap, you leave me no alternative. Until now I have remained impartial to the wars of words. In fact, I have made conscious efforts to extend my good will to you and your minions. Maybe you should read the email that I PERSONALLY sent to Richard. I cannot sit back and ignore your personal attack on myself, which you obviously wish all to see. You and your sycophants spend far too much time gossiping and bitching, when you should be using the board for it’s purpose.
You say that I consider you my "enemy"? I have never done or said anything that would make you believe this…until now. This was obviously a figment of your limited imagination.
You apparently have no sense of humour and a surplus of time, which aggravates your paranoia. Maybe you should take up needlework or throw a tupperware party to renew interest in your dull life.
Your definition of "steal" does seem to differ to that of most modern dictionaries. To get technical, yes the names are similar. May I remind you of what "your" club is called…look to the top of the page. I also bear witness to a discussion relating to the T-shirt proposal, which was to read, "The Australian Hayabusa Owners Club". Whatever variations you have since conjured up, is not my concern. We live in Australia and happen to own Hayabusas, so there is probably a good chance that a club name will feature these three key-words. A name is as good as the credibility it has and deserves, of which you my little fellow have none. Maybe if you had some initiative, you would have registered a domain name etc. in the hope that someone may take you seriously, although I doubt it. Hey I’ve got a new one for you…how about "The Fat Ugly Enlightenment Club of Bentleigh". "All hail president Volvo!"
The whole reason our club formed is because of your incompetence. It that not clear yet? We have 7 founding members originating from "your" club, which is more than just a coincidence…wouldn’t you say? Our members aren’t subjected to the will of one person (who happens to an idiot).
Control over our discussion board does not lie with one person. There are several mediators who have that ability to ban/unban at their discretion, which is usually done for a good reason. Your hypocrisy surprises me. You and especially Les, without provocation launch personal attacks on members of our board and seem surprised when there is a reaction. Do you really wonder why a certain member of our club does "rubbish" one of your members on our board? If your livelihood was slandered repeatedly, how would you feel? Although I do not approve of using the board for this use, he does have a point though…you do have similar attributes of Humpty Dumpty. A word of advice, be very careful what is said about someone’s business. One thing you should remember, if you repeatedly kick a dog, it will bite.
I am puzzled, as if you do not welcome the posting of advertisements, why do you have a "Buy, Sell and Swap" forum?
By the way, it is not I that look foolish, it is you. One of the founding members of our club happens to have taken the photographs in question, and in my books the intellectual property lies with the owner. Oh, you should also learn how to spell "rediculous". The joke is on you!
I have no wish to be associated with you or your club any longer. I will endeavour to refrain from posting on your "discussion board" and visiting your site and will encourage others to do the same. Please take me off the members list (if you know how to)!
Goodbye, farewell and good riddance!

P.S. I wonder how long this post lasts before viewers realise the truth and it is removed?
P.P.S. Les, insert comments here…………
