TSI in North Jackson, Ohio, has a well-deserved reputation as a generator repair facility. I know of truck owners that became Western Star owners, buying their trucks from TSI after having their generators worked on there. We have learned to not drive quickly away from a repair facility once a...

The study of Phar?

>Phil, I still think your idea of an "off topic" sucks. Understood. You also said, "Expediters On Line may not be perfect, but in my limited experience it is the best. Can if improve? Of course! And I'm sure all serious suggestions will considered." Do you have any suggestions of your own to...

Broom's story reminds me of an event that happened in Atlanta, according to news sources. I do not remember all the details but it went like this: Well-meaning truck driver stops roadside to help a woman with a disabled car. Woman's partner emerges from the bushes to rob the truck driver. Driver...

Regarding my two suggestions, let me add this. The changes do not need to be made in one fell-swoop. In any number of ways, the new moderator practices can be announced ahead of time and introduced into the forums. The new ways can be eased into, not jolted into.

Greg, Your arguement hinges on the acceptance of words like "true forum" "ideals" and "effectiveness." You have your idea of what a "true forum" is, I have mine, and others have theirs. My suggestions can be easily implemented without getting to philosophical disussions about truth and ideals...

The fair tax enjoys support from some very smart and high-ranking business poeple. It also enjoys support from fome very smart and high-ranking elected officials. On it's face, the fair tax is an easily understood idea that provides numerous benefits, if implemented in its pure form. But...

Dreamer said, "If you want to see things change, be a part of that solution." OK. Challenge accepted. I offer two specific suggestions that I GUARANTEE will improve the quality of life and discourse for all forum members (expcept those who are into and actually enjoy the soap opera aspect that...

>Oh and Phil, after seeing a nice C unit in Arizona, I >don’t think you have the most expensive one out there. That has been true from the day we picked up our truck. Ours is an economy compact compared to some of the stretch limos that are out there. We built the truck we wanted, and now...

makes me curious as >to why you ask ppl things you're not prepared to answer >yourself. Interesting observation but do you have a specific example? I know of none.

It is a matter of context. Had the original question been more specific, and the timing of it relative to other posts been different, the response would have been different too.

RE: A Question For Expediting Veterans About Reces From posts, it seems that not all expediters know the basics. A good introduction to the business cycle appears on the How Stuff Works web site. For the entire article see: http://money.howstuffworks.com/recession.htm Excerpt: "In the...

The news is buzzing with people talking about a liquidy crisis, over-sold real estate markets, declining stock markets, and decling quality of commercial paper, among other troubling indicators. Some analysts are suggesting a recession may not be too far off. I do not know if a recession is...
