Well when the whole "4" thing went down, I learned that alot of bad information was being posted on the Yahoo Groups 914 site, so being a good citizen I enrolled in this group and tried to post to add to the discussion. Guess what, none of my "posts" have ever actually been posted. Seems the "owner" must read and approve all posts before they are sent out to the "members." So, since some of you guys also post there, who is the "owner" and why does "he" censor all views other than the wrong crap about "4."? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/screwy.gif)

owner is Dennis Leeds(???) or something like that...not sure why your posts are not showing up...maybe he has to approve the 1st couple of posts and felt yours did not meet his criteria....try posting something technical about 914s 1st???

Same thing happened to me.

I questioned his poll about reviving the 914 OA "festivals"... and strangely, that didn't show up either. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif)

I noticed that my last post never made it either.

My last post there was in response to their poll about having a 914 event. I posted about the WCC and linked 914world.com. No wonder it never made it (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/lol2.gif) .

Dennis DICKHEAD Deeds

He banned me AFTER I complained that my 'membership' in his little organization had taken effect AFTER he had my money for 3 MONTHS. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ar15.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ar15.gif)

Lame-O, Lame-O. You gotta wonder about the regulars there because sOOO much more info, and pictures, etc. is here. Guys, this whole "4" thing got me going so much, next week my car is going into paint FINALLY after 2 years, I'm taking all my suspension parts for powder coating at the same time, and Len Hoffman has my 2.0 heads for work, I just bought the L&N ceramic lifters, (sorry about the Raby connecting rods) and I am on a mission from god to have this 30 year old car back on the road this summer.

I thought Dennis was dead. We have tried and tried to include him on "club" activities, but he chose to ignore us. I truelly question his dedication to the 914. Our "collector" was posting over there quite a bit it seams. Another one of my "close friends" George Petry seems to have a bone to pick with me over there also ?? Not sure what I did to him (other than calling some of his 914's he had for sale) PIECES OF SHIT

Oh.. I'm also looking for a Scott Armstrong ?? anyone ??

Hot damn, Brad is in the house. Glad to see and hear from you. Those guys have been bad mouthing you something terrible and when I "posted" a couple of things to point out that something wasn't right with the story, suddenly, nothing is allowed up. Well, so much for the 914 community over there. Must of those guys seem to be pretty much in the dark, and oh, if you mention the 914world.com site, it makes them crazy (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/screwy.gif)

You can't control the 914 cult. We're weird, we're mutants, we freakin' 'Mericans. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/flipa.gif)

Petri admitted he was a cop on the list. The collector guy does not make any sense and i would think he was a cop too. I have kept every digest from that group for the past couple years, and all the digests from Rennlist since 1997, did a search on his username in my mail file and came up with 2 - the only two posts he made about #4
