This isn't the back room of an aeronautical engineering department at a college somewhere, it's a public forum about cars.

Such gentle souls! Where I come from, we differentiate personal abuse (ie abuse of a person) with denigration of what that persons says, the ideas they espouse, etc.

I think about half - or perhaps a bit more - of what 'Aerohead' writes here is wrong, misleading or irrelevant. Since he is the most prolific poster - by far - on technical aspects of car aero, that is a concern to me, especially when most people uncritically accept the rubbish he (mostly) writes.

I do not like seeing amateur car modifiers being given incorrect information - as an amateur car modifier myself, I am only too well aware of how that can waste people's time and cost them money.
