I wasn't confused about what "On Order" means. Somehow I scammed my way into getting three college degrees, raising two kids and passing a couple of bar exams. (The Washington one was fun 'cause it was 100% essay. Try it for yuks.) So I can read a little bit. Maybe.

I guess what I'm really confused about, and what your reply didn't clear up for me, was why YOU would WANT to advertise that YOU believed in Fram's product so much that you would advertise it for Fram, when you had yet to even use it. It's like advertising that you're gullible. OK, you're proud of your purchase, fine, but you're trying TOO hard. Like covering your daily driver with race parts stickers to impress people.

I'm not crunching you for your passion per se or your particularity about your car, but more for your over-eagerness that seems to contradict your rationality and thus undermines the credibility of your endorsement. You've set yourself up to look foolish. I don't know you, so I'm confused why you'd do THAT.

First the ad in your sig, and now to do a separate posting, dedicated exclusively to further announcing that you had fully bought Fram's advertising, for those of us that had not been paying attention otherwise? I hope you're happy with your purchase and that it works well, but good luck with dealing with advertising claims in the future.

Care to buy some 2004 World Series tickets? Tampa Bay vs. the Pittsburgh Pirates. They've both been hot lately, so here's your chance to beat the scalpers' prices, at only $200 a seat if you buy 4 today! You can be the first on that block too. And don't forget the 20 HP gain items on eBay.

Now do you follow me better? I didn't want to have to make it so obvious. But then again, I guess it was obviousness you wanted doing your posting in the first place.
