I have to second that.  Quite frankly, I have no objection to his
SIG... it serves as a reminder that some of what he says may have
a bias.  I guess the BBR comment made by Peter was a bit on the
strong side, and could have been executed with more tact, but his
other posts were not out of line.  He is in a very tough
position... someone posts him a question, which he answers, and
then catches hell for it for a couple weeks!  Sheesh... I'm
surprised he's hung around this long!   I don't see how he can
possibly respond to questions concerning 'chip mods' and such
without SOMEONE thinking that he's trying to advertise.  If he
were to say "Well, I have a chip for the ____ that will give you 25
extra horses for $200 bucks" -there is no question that would be
advertising.  I have not seen him try to directly promote his
products... the sig simply states who he is, and where he might be
'coming from' on his replies.  

Also, the question was raised whether or not Peter drives an Audi,
and if not, why is he here?  WELL, is that to say that we do not
welcome NON AUDI OWNERS to this list!?!?!  WOW... I'm glad I have
one so I can be a part of the 'club'.  <sarcastic grin>  I don't
care if someone owns one or not, what matters is whether or not
they are 'enthusiasts' with a desire to join in.  Wheter you'd
like to admit it or not, Peter DOES have some knowledge that we
could possibly benefit from if we'd quit nitpicking everything he
posts to death!

I think this is a gret group.  I have learned a lot about the cars
in the relatively short time I've been around here, and also made
some good friends.  I cannot believe that the level of maturity on
this list can so easily 'take a dive' though!  I'm a relatively
young 21 year old guy, and quite frankly all this moaning and
whining reminds me of middle school!  ARRRGH.... surely we can all
grow up a bit right?

Ok kids... that's my 4 cents (hey, I'm a BIG spender!  ;)
