Jim,
You forgot a few other reasons.
3) Forum Subject Gods. In every forum, there are those who think they
are the end all, be all know it all about the subject of the forum.
Usually these pathetic people have nothing else going on in their lives,
and their entire existence or "being" is wrapped up in that one
subject. In this case, the subject being "Datsun Roadsters".
4) Sense of Entitlement. Many times, this is coupled with #3. As a
"expert" these people think they should get everything for free, or at a
"discount" over others. Like somehow their "advanced knowledge"
entitles them to things over other roadster owners.
As for "talking roadsters".... again, someone posting they have parts
for sale IS talking roadsters. It's letting the community know he has
parts for sale.
To further the irony, right after a select few here got their panties in
a bunch, someone posted they needed a specific part. Yet the very
person who HAS what they need has been unceremoniously booted from the
list, thus doing a disservice to the entire community. Someone show me
the logic in that...
Again, let's be real and honest. The issue wasn't his posting the
parts. It was the prices. IF he'd posted stuff cheap, those who got
upset wouldn't care in the least. They got upset because they didn't
like his prices... again, sense of entitlement...
Not stirring up trouble, just keeping it REAL.
