Yes, but I don't think anyone on this list was being rude by saying
negative things about BKPNTR.
It is rude to make unsolicited negative comments.
The key word being "unsolicited".
I would never approach the owner of this car and give him a hard time
about it. That would be rude.
But if he asked my opinion, I would tell him it looks like he bought a
Pantera and wanted a Ford GT.
