That's fine; however, if you would have offered a yes or no answer my line of questioning would be done. There is no reason to get angry, remember you are a moderate.
JAM1, I would love to reply to you; however, I am concerned that the moderator "Andrew" may reprimand me or find my answer to be inappropriate per his interpretation of the "rules".

That’s unfortunate. I do enjoy getting mail for no particular reason. Especially Christmas cards. Regarding your concern of reprimand for a response; as a 15 year member of Fchat I can assure you you really needn’t worry. The simple fact you’re still able to post as a member of this site after being recognized as a shill to an unauthorized advertiser should give you all the confidence in the world the moderators of this site are nothing if not fair. I suspect other members won’t offer similar quarter.

Master Andrew, Do not now or ever label me as a shill. I am not a swindler who acts as an enthusiastic customer to entice or encourage others, nor am I paid or asked to promote anyone's channel. Andrew, you are the absolute most unprofessional Moderator for this site and to that end you posses no couth, etiquette, business acumen, class or do anything that commands respect. You should be canned as a Moderator and learn diplomacy before you are allowed to exist on this channel. Truthfuly speaking, Stuart

Thanks for your recommendations, I'll dutifully pass them along to the administrators. If you'd also like to get in touch with them directly via the contact form, please do. All the best, Andrew.
Jeez, this looks like a fun thread! Andrew, making friends again? chaps, you’re shills, it’s against the rules, quit. Andrew and I are definately not friends, but for ****s sake, give it up, the guy is doing his job and even I don’t give him this much aggro for that. Read back your posts and see if you feel embarrassed, I’m betting you will
Wow I'm sure his upcoming 355 videos will be helpful, positive, productive and clickbait-free. Ugh. I think I am done wasting time on this thread.
Methinks there is some sort of chemical in the water of NGS's part of Austin. Only that can explain the pedantic nature of his supporters on this thread. I'm not a super long-time member here, but I've been able to clearly recognize that Andrew's activities as a mod on this site far outweigh anything that the aforementioned members are adding via this thread (or on other threads). The rules are clear when you sign up, if you choose to ignore those rules and act in such a fashion, there are some bridges missing their inhabitants... And IMHO, the 348 was shunned nearly from the moment that it started production and it's relative market valuation suffered for years as a result. Only via tireless support of real owners who have debunked the myths of it being the 'toad' of Ferraris on this site and elsewhere - can the car be recognized for what it is: a true exotic car. For what it's worth, I and many others view the 348 (and the 355 to a lesser degree) as the last of the true analogue Ferraris. Whether or not they are requiring piles of cash to maintain is wholly up to the owner and how they handle the maintenance. This site has been an endless wealth of information, advice, and the occasional laugh. Threads like this are a real bummer to dive into.
This diatribe from someone who called the 348 owners here "sniffling snowflakes" because they disagreed with your buddy Dan. Andrew is one of the most reasonable and dutiful moderators we have. Your complaint was duly forwarded to the admins and other moderators by him, just as he said. But here's the reality, a predictable fraction of users that have moderation actions taken against them are "sniffling snowflakes" and find the actions offensive to their sensibilities and egos and complain. While we take every complaint seriously, the admins and other moderators have probably already scanned the events and posts leading up to the actions and would have interjected if they disagreed with the tone or actions taken.
I've been incredibly fortunate to meet some of the most wonderful folks that happen to own Ferrari and other exotics. To the point where I think, man, the d0uc#e-bag stereotype really doesn't fit. Then I see a thread like this and some of the comments made, and yup - there are two sides two every community. Good on you @NeuroBeaker
