I was replying to D2mini's thread on the Progressive 440 shock, the post came up blank, with one empty post from an "anonymous" and when I tried to reload the screen, the post just disappeared. I replied a few days ago, but it's that is also missing from my profile and last 15 posts. Weirdness from my laptop (and hotel ISP) or a board problem?

I guess the mods can only delete an entire thread and not individual posts. Bummer.
You know the saying about one bad egg....

So uhhh.... what were you going to add? Anything relevant?
There was some good info. Maybe those who had some good info to post can repost it here.

I tried to respond to a post about wrapping pipes but I can't find it now. Too bad.

Here's the link to Progressive Suspension if anyone needs it http://www.progressivesuspension.com
The recommended part number for the Standard/T100 Bonnie 440's (13.5") are 440-4215B/C+ for the standard shocks or 440-4244B/C+ for the heavy duty shocks. Price through MAW is about $388 for the set.
Maybe we can get SCbonneville to re-write his review...I thought he made some good points and comparisons. Too bad some folks can't keep their differences of opinions to a low roar :-D ...still, it makes some interesting reading.

I, too, have never seen threads disappear in that manner...with a blank anonamous post being left. Thought my server was on the fritz again, until tonight.

The trouble with asking old posters to reply again with their wit and wisdom is they probably won't remember what they said the first time...come to think of it that may be better rather than worse. You can get two or three answers from the same person...all different. :-D

Hi guys! Sorry I missed the brouhaahaa - I was disconnected for a bit during my move to VA. But I imagine Shawn's posting the Acceptable Use Policy at the top of the forum might have been bcs of that thread. I had 2 complaints about it in my mailbox.

Anyway, I'M BACK! and big sister's keepin an eye on y'all... :razz:

Best,
Mare

Welcome to God's Country! I was up in Secaucus Thursday night. Drove from Passiac ove to Secacus, looking at that beautiful NYC skyline. Fabulous, but great to drive home to Western MD! Hopefully I'll see you at an event at Winchster Motorsports.
