[DMCForum] Re: Behavior unbecoming of a "Proper Vendor"?




Now that is interesting, a conspiracy to sell Delorean parts, or is
it subtle spamming?

If you stare at the messages from sonnyvr2000 long enough and step
back from the monitor and look again, a message appears telling you
to "buy reproduction seat covers from DMCH, you need them"

We're being programmed into buying parts! Maybe sonnyvr2000 ran a
LOOOOOng line of ehernet cable from DMCH to his house and is
bootleggin' free internet?????? Explains the same IP??


Conspiracy theories abound......
