I just stated a fact. I tried for the longest time to jump back and forth and ignore any previous BS, but it was unavoidable.
FCO is a good data base and there is a bunch of great people there, so I'm not slamming the site or Buckeye at all.

I've browsed their site, and it just seems to have a different feel to it... not quite like being at home, ya know?
Eh... it's up to you to find what's best for you. I think it was last year there was a big ol' fight between the two sites, and it got pretty ugly.

To answer the original questions, again, they do know what they're talking about and they've been around 'long enough' for it not to matter. They know the Contour/Cougar and they know both motors well enough that if you're getting info. from there, you shouldn't worry too much about it. Aside from that everything is personal opinion.

A lot of "they" is also "us," if you know what I mean, except for a few. BuckeyeSVT runs the place, and he has a real beef with the guys that run this place. Terry Haines is a very good reason to go over there. He also has a beef with CEG, since he got kicked out over here for some [censored] I can't remember. Anyway, I go there mostly for his take on things. Extremely knowledgeable.
I don't really give a damn about all the spy vs spy nonsense.

I meant "they" as in FCO in general. I realize there are a lot of people who belong to both places. Why not? Good info. on both sites. I've read their forums but never post. Terry does know what he's talking about...he can be very good at what he does.

Last I remember is that he was unbanned here but chose not to post anymore. That whole incident was very unsavoury. Lots of innuendo and backstabbing.
