was this thread deleted, removed ?
Yes it was. There was.......tension.
A hard delete and not by me. Must have been some other evil moderator trying to silence the enlightened on a privately owned BMW forum.
ooohhhh
unfortunately the remembrance of the spanish inquisition, that i mentioned was true and would have been resounding in some heads
tension generates movement, it is like the potential difference in a battery, or the transformation of potential energy into kinetic energy, if there is no differential, or instability, there is no possibility of anything worthwhile.
tension is the essence of life, it saddens me that someone eliminates tension by sweeping it under the rug

oh house cleaning...yep, but what house cleaning ?, the one that my wife will do (throwing to the bin all the car bits that are "in process" here and there in the house),...or the one that i might do of her clothes, hats and shoes ?
there had been fine examples of "house cleaning" in world`s history, point has been of who cleans and who is cleaned,...i heard that it was (still is) controversial...IMHO
A good park ranger will extinguish little spot fires before they get out of control.
I just hope they don't have a burn off to eliminate excess litter like me.

This is how I typically operate and there are a few topics that, if you play the percentages, usually go south. Sometimes all the way down under.
The rule was to not let an incendiary topic start, but some get through. I also believe that most of the members on this forum self-police the place, but that only works to a point.
Sadly we also lost Dan's correctly questioning my NPV calculation. I had assumed a 9% discount rate for nine years, while Dan indicated one would expect the discount rate to return to the norm during such a long period of time. Dan is correct.
The picture remains incomplete as we must use conditional probabilities when events are not independent, like the discount rate and the tax receipts.
If the discount rate rate dropped from say 9% back to the norm, it is very likely because there was an intervening recession, not by itself. Therefore the right side of the inequality (the sum of the taxes collected) would also drop significantly, not just the NPV.
Time will tell.
Or time would have told if the thread was left alone.

During all of that mashup I proposed, twice, that Off Topic be limited to anything automotive excluding BMW. I have always seen this forum as apolitical, unlike the wild west days of the CSRegister/ry when Art and I would stirr up the troops with our far out Liberal/Pinko postions. Now I much prefer the apolitical. A different culture now for sure.
Oh I missed that phase entirely, when was that?
I did hear Art's name many times...
Still trying to parse this one. Is this about correlating hand size with instrument size?
