It was a fancy way to say " Bribe the State of California to the tune of thousands of dollars to give you a sticker "....That's all I referenced. I don't think any of these guys have CARB numbers. If they did, the 400 tune would be 1200 bucks. I'll call him Lucky Charms, a drunk and anything else I want because he is irresponsible enough to attack a company without knowledge. If he were just giving his opinion, that's a different story.
You are the one who brought up the cost of CARB certification when you were justifying product development investment by aftermarket parts vendors. So if you weren't implying it, then it looks like you were obfuscating. Why else would you bring it up when justifying BMS's sales price.

You are focusing on whether he is attacking BMS. I never thought he was, perhaps due to my prior knowledge. I thought he was classifying all piggyback tunes as crude. Some are much more crude than others, obviously, but they do all fool the DME/DDE in a manner of speaking. That is the concept he was putting down, he doesn't know anything about BMS AFAIK. And it was obviously his opinion.

I think you should reconsider your plan to attack people you don't agree with. It is not acceptable to call people names because we don't like their positions. Discuss the idea, not the person. You should reference the forum rules in that regard:
