As a matter of fact I do.

My brother-in-law worked on Wall Street as a high level company Executive for the company George currently works for. He retired from the company a few years ago but still goes to the Retirement parties for the shooters in his office occasionally.

Not freeky at all, just a simple marriage deal. I married the guys sister.

I own stock in the company. Most companies like to keep their former execs and stockholders happy.

Lets see:

1) Daughter is a lawyer

2) Defamation of Character by a Company Employee is grounds for a lawsuit and dismissal.

3) Lots and lots money available from your current employer.

4) Most times, with years of Defamation of Character by a Company Employee posts on an internet website (using company resources/equipment on company time is a "rubber stamp" for a LARGE payout).

5) Now what would the company do with the employee that caused this mess?

Sounds good on paper doesn't it George.

Except I am not chicken chit (like you) and low enough to go there.

Again, be careful, George.

Bye George.

I apologize to the PY board for replying to attacks on my name and character.

I really need to stop doing that. I have kicked his butt with logical answers EVERYTIME we have sparred. Still some are slow learners, including me.

Sorry that you are reading a lot into some words that are really saying what you think.
George works for a big company. george posts a lot at around 10:30 in the mornings.
George does have a job at this company so 99% chance that some posts are from work.

George wants to retire after 40+ years of probably excellent service with his company.
Why would you want a guy to get fired for violating company policy with being so close to retirement?

I simply posted be careful on the internet stuff at work.

So ifdsteve, you are out of line, as are others.

One thing to argue about racing and boosting philosophies.

Another to "stand by with your mouth shut when 'the bus could run over the person' and screw up the persons retirement.

Really sad what this board has come to as far as attacking the most simple post by someone.

Lots of "tag along" including some by a guy who I helped and assumed was a friend.

Wallace and his brother were smiling from ear to ear when they first purchased the Turbos from me for their project.
McQueen acquired some special water pumps I had custom made for his project. Yet both of them throw me under the bus, typical Pontiac behavior.

Tom,
What is really sad is you trying to explain to everybody who has read what you posted, and how all of us have misunderstood what you wrote.

As for "Thy Race" it will never happen, Jack (or will he) won't run the 1/4 mile and it's too bad I think it will be a heck of a race!

Maybe so Jim. Everyone has an opinion.

I do have an issue with comments like Steve posted who gets the story totally wrong though. Again My daughter, everyone is the only one I spoke of. Cheeeeze.

If you can't figure out the daughter part of the deal then the Internet Policy deal for major companies is WAY OVER YOUR HEAD.

So, Lil Jack, have you got a prediction for Norwalk---or is it secret squirrel???

I hope the race comes off. It should be fun. Wish I could be there, but I'll be on here reading about it, I'm sure.

Narcissistic personality disorder*(NPD) is apersonality disorder*in which a person is excessively preoccupied with personal adequacy,*power, prestige and*vanity, mentally unable to see the destructive damage they are causing to themselves and others. It is a*cluster B*personality disorder.[1]

Speaking from personal experience Scott?

At one time you had been thrown off the board several times, for a variety of different offenses by PY management. I guess you are an expert on the disorder.

Me, I am a Behavioral Psychology type of guy. Push a button, get the monkey to eat a banana, etc. Or you can get the Monkey to roll over. Or bark with a given stimuli.

About Us

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
