However, this thread has been dominating the forum for over a year now and, speaking frankly, it is affecting what used to be a very good forum.
Speaking subjectively I think you mean.
I don't think this thread will die until Holley quits or gets pushed and BASSA get real and stop using their members as pawns.
But quite why you think it is "affecting a forum" I have no idea. It's a thread on a discussion board, nothing more, nothing less.
