3. Boy the people on DU at night
Edited on Tue Jan-27-04 03:57 AM by DanSpillane
I don't get it.

Are you guys at night mentally lacking?

I understand it is late. I hope you are not up on the east coast.

If so I forgive your idiotic comments.

That clearly is breaking news.

Dan

9. I don't think
That you are taking the high road here. You and the first respondent should learn to be more civil, even if you don't see this issue the same way.

10. Just checked out your website--Good on ya, Mr. Spillanne
In the future you should post a link and what it is that is pissing you off before you freak out. You have a great website, btw. I didn't read the whole thing about the auto loans, but I am sure with good people like you this issue will get the light of day. :-)

11. THANKS! It is a serious issue
Edited on Tue Jan-27-04 04:16 AM by DanSpillane
I am sure I will be contacted tommorrow.

I educated Bev Harris of Black Box before she wrote her book!!

The things I bring up tend to get noticed--like in the NY Times, though it might take a bit of time.

See ya
Dan

5. That was unnecessary
What's your problem with a newly begun legal action against the major auto manufacturers for price manipulation? Do you own a Ford dealership or something?

There's no reason to be a jerk about this.

Good post, Dan!

7. Thanks!

It took a lot of research.

If people don't think hacking the US CPI for personal gain is BAD, well, they need to go study what makes this nation tick!

It's not a legal action--yet. I did have a legal action involving electronic voting machines earlier this year.

DU is definitely different at night. I have never been called a dumbass.

Sigh I think I will go to bed.

13. Not LBN
While we appreciate your efforts, the LBN forum is for news. This research would be better suited for General Discussion, Editorials, or perhaps even the Economic Issues forum.
