Title: One size fits all???
Post by: Jim B PEI on October 04, 2010, 07:06:22 PM

Look at this Ebay listing.

One head gasket fitting the 161 L head, the 161 F head, AND the 226 L head?  Fancy that! The things you learn....   :D  Maybe you could take a pair of scissors and make it fit the 134 L head as well!  ;D

(I have a reason for posting this)

I spoke with a couple of people who tried to help this seller but only received snide replies.  Apparently his replies stated "You should find a better way to use your time" or something to that effect.
To me, a good use of time is learning a little bit about what you're selling so you don't look like a fool. 
A poor use of time is trying to help a bullheaded, arrogant, obnoxious, know-it-all seller so that's why I did not offer any comments to him.
I've heard this seller has made a number of folks in the club mad.  Caveat Emptor.

Some how a club attracts people not really interested in the perpose and spirit of a given club. Unfortunate.

It is unfortunate that certain individuals (and it seems from what I have heard, most if not all these people are East Coasters) feel the KFOCI is their own private "fifedom" and they have the overpowering need to run everything (does this sound familiar as we go into the November elections?).  This can be done because the club allows less than 18% of the membership decide policy for the entire group because members cannot proxy vote.  Only those showing up at National Conventions are allowed to make decisions and approve same.  It was also an initiative by members of the Eastern Division that changed club working papers a number of years ago to give more authority to the Board of Directors...being a non-voting member of that Board, I have attended their meetings and know of decisions made that members had no say on.
