Bruce I will continue to discuss this in a manner that is as uncolored as I can, but you should know that you have really removed yourself from any semblence of a "reasonable" debater, as your bias, and disregard for others legitimate views has shown your interest to be entirely self centered.
What then is amazing, is that you are a person who has admitted to be self serving, but then you accuse others, on the ITAC, of that exact failure!! Why is it fine for you, but not for them??
I have admitted a bias to this particular topic, other than that I’m a pretty objective guy. Do you have information to prove this is not the case? Too bad others can’t get their biases out in the open. To a truly objective person the bias of a lot of participants on this forum against the E36 and a few other items is quite obvious. I don’t particularly enjoy coming on here and defending the E36, but there is so much baloney being passed off as fact, I can’t sit back and let it go all the time. From time to time those spewing crap are going to get called on it.

THEN you say you want to be ON the ITAC! Am I the only person who see this obvious conflict??
That was a rhetorical question, no where did I say I wanted to be on the ITAC (although I may entertain the idea). I asked the question again because it had gone unanswered once previous in this thread. When certain myths are dispelled, tough questions are asked, or a post really hits home it tends to get ignored when it goes against the conventional wisdom of this forum.

The ITAC is made up of 9 members, selected, (key word, selected) for their involvement in IT, their geographic diversity, and their class diversity.
As such, the board remains rather unbiased, as one person would have a very difficult time forwarding any personal agendas.
And whom makes the selection? Do they have to be members of this forum? How many BMW drivers from the Southeast are on the committee at present?
Since a majority of ITAC members post on this forum it is easy to get the impression that all members are marching in lockstep. It would be nice to get the indication that there may be some differing opinions among the members.

I will let Darin fill you in on other aspects of the selection process, but I would assume that an ability to act in a non self serving manner would be important....
How did you get selected? ;) [jk]
