Passive-agressive much?

I guess I'm committed to matching teoman, but he said 'a reputable member of this forum'.

OTOH, if it made the Dasher quiet and smoke-free that would be a real testimonial.

Why would I be passive-aggressive? I am not funny, either, but I keep trying.

It's Okay. It's fun to watch me fail.

You are reputable enough. You have 10000 psts, you must even be posting while driving.

And if this stuff saves the dasher, it does everything it says on the box.

Wow, that slipped right past me. I could have had a cupcake or something.

I see that back in February, I was thinking about using it in the zero-miles 1776 stroker I have sitting on a bench.

It's not a matter of 'saving' the Dasher, making it quiet and smoke-free would be to elevate it to a new plane of existence.

OTOH Tribotex's last comment in February was:

It makes more sense for industrial clients where purchasing decision is based on tests and tests are relevant to the application. So any industrial client is welcome to contact us.

For retail tests are less relevant. I wish it was different.

But it it stopped running it would be smoke free and quiet.

It took a little hunting, but here is the original published manuscript on the technology. Since it is government funded, it has to be freely available.

Tribotex needs to link this instead of the paylink on their website.
