Can you provide a link?

I also recall in one of his videos he was describing working an a bus where as they got further into it they found more and more thongs wrong (not unusual) and of course the cost was going up. His "followers" started to make donations on line which totaled about $1000 which he then knocked off the guys bill.
Ive never had any work done by him because he "wont come to Canada" so probably never will either.

Ok, first time poster, hello I am one that appreciates all the knowledge that I see here but...  I also see just about every post drift to something that has noting to do do with what was originally asked...
This post was about what type of antifreeze or coolant was recommended for a specific motor...
Then I read all about how greasemonkey is...
Really?
Let's help the guy with recomendations on the coolant and not who wrecked a motor?
I am a noob and ready to face the consequences but please can we please answer the original question before we drift to other things?

Thread drift has been going on for as long as there's been busboards. Moderators would herd, wrangle and sperate topics out, with that leadership, there was a bit more posting discipline... then social media happened, moderators got tired, posters took offence at moderator decisions...

And here we are.

Happy coaching!

Thread drift is not unlike real conversions within a group of people, one topic generates comments in another. By the way, the antifreeze question was answered with bonus information.  ;)

This is starting to sound like piling on.

If you think someone has done poor work, say so. That's already been done, so perhaps it's time to move on. It's clear that people have strongly held opinions about the situation, but it doesn't seem like this is the place to continue bashing someone. That's what Facebook is for.

Is there anyway we can try and keep the bus threads about buses and related subjects and not attacks against an individual?

Bashing goes both ways Richard,when Kevin and Scott got into about money over the Cat Ladies bus  he delated Kevin from his board and went after Kevin where Kevin could not respond,I thought that pretty low my self then turns around and posts what he was paid on this very board,Hell he had to get Joe to straighten out his own rebuild on his engine

I'm not offering an opinion one way or the other about the situation itself.

All I'm saying is that for me the bus threads are an escape from politics and the constant bickering. If you guys want to continue that, please take it to the non-bus threads so that we don't have to continue to see it. I'm with the new guy on this one - this is a thread about anti freeze. Okay to drift off the main topic, but there's a limit. Maybe we can veer off and talk about uncle freeze?

You're right - and another great thing about the internet is that there entire areas of it devoted to people griping about things. We even have a section on this site just for things like this.

I started reading this thread when it was about antifreeze and continue to check it for the original topic. The point about Scott was made long ago, and continuing to harp on it doesn't serve any positive purpose.
