I've seen much more complaint than praise. But I've only been lurking
for a couple of years.
I'd be angry too, if the work had been only "pretended". But that
ultimately falls upon the owner to make sure that happens. Even a
cursory look under the car would have showed what parts were new.
I agree that it's a crummy deal, and that Audi made a mistake in
engineering originally. But really, what is the good of complaining in
usenet? *We* can't do anything for it!
E.P.

No, it's good. it adds to the collective wis-doom the average Joe has
access to. It certainly won't make Audi shake and quake, but it will
inform others.

There is a saying: "It's not what you say, it's how you say it."
Thus, the form of your communication matters just as much, if not more,
than it's contents.
Top-posting is rude and lazy. I realize that a lot of newsreaders do
it by default, but that doesn't make it right.

If you believe this has anything to do with something other than
courtesy and etiquette, then you miss the point entirely.
Proper quoting and trimming eliminate every advantage claimed by
top-posters. In addition, it makes posts easier to read, make sense on
a stand-alone basis, and eliminates usenet meta-discussions.
E.P.
