I must admit the Shoe Goo idea wasn't the best, but he was using it as an
example of how a similar problem was resolved with running/tennis shoes.
I used to use Shoe Goo and the stuff worked.

Except Duane, and I know him well, would be the first guy to offer real help
to Marc, not snide remarks.

Suggesting harm to another Bimwad, real cool Mark!

I understand, from some other people, you are a decent autoxer, but
wasn't there a time when even YOU didn't have all the answers. I know Marc,
and these questions were asked in all seriousness and I'm sure he was looking
for more than you have graciously offered. Marc may not be the fastest guy at
our autoxes, but he works at and helps to coordinate our events and deserves
more than your childish jabs.

I can tell you that Marc is no worse an autoxer than most of our chapter members
and this problem probably has a better chance being related to a tire flaw. Maybe
if you would have spent as much time reading your post as writing it you wouldn't
have sent it. That could have saved you a lot of embarrassment in my opinion.

Have a nice day.
