Re: Rapid Parts spam

["dale witt" <dwitt1@satx.rr.com>]

No one dislikes Rapid Parts any more than I, they offered to sue our little
125 member club H2o Gulf Coast Chapter five years ago because we were using
the name HotWaterFest as a name for our 1st Annual Texas Audi/VW Car Show.
They had lawyers calling us to tell us to cease and desist and they wanted
to confiscate our T Shirts, and some other assorted BS.  We did change our
name and the shows name the following year.  Most listers in Texas would
ride the bus before we bought anything from those people.  I also hate spam,
however, with all these replies about them and the spam......it looks like
we are becoming guilty of spamming.
