big brother "controls all" state... at least on this forum. Every post I made about my hood problem seems to have...Hell are gone....From what to do to what happened........Maybe they will come steal my computer next.

This forum is a big brother state and guess what - theyre allowed to be. ITS THEIR SITE! Being here is a PRIVILEDGE for us all, they can shut us down any moment they like.
When it comes to money, however, I do think this site is a bit shady. They're definately willing to throw members out in the cold before they question a paying vendor. I wish that could be changed because members intentionally buy from vendors thinking the vendors must be legit, when in reality these vendors will screw members like any outside vendor would.
But... in the end... this is THEIR site and we play by their rules. My only suggestion is don't buy from vendors simply because they're vendors. Check out who is legit, whether a vendor or not, and buy from them. And use an american express or something that offers payment stoppage!

That would have merit if TruFiber was actually a sponsor here [&:] Granted, Fast Toys IS a sponsor here, but Va. Stang didn't seem to have a beef with them, so where's our conflict of interest?
Again, forum issues are not to be debated in the technical sections. Either use the PM system or post in the section for Forum Issues and Feedback.

All of your repeat post and Mod and site bashing was removed to maintain order here.
Also, you are now on post approval and any post you make from now on has to be approved by your section Moderators. This will remain until you can conduct yourself in a cooperative manner. Being a member of this site is a privilege, not a right.
Feel free to PM me if you would like to discuss this further.

I have a theory on the hood issue.
Due to the difference in altitude, change in solar altitude alters the reflectance spectra of the paint by affecting the highlight/shadow ratio of the hood. The reflectance spectra of hoods with high contrast between sunlit and shadedpaint had a strong, direct relation with solar altitude, e.g., the visible regions of gray colored paint and the region forblue colored fenders.Hoods with low reflectance contrast did not have a strong relation with solar altitude, e.g., the visible region for blue fenders. The anisotrophic effect of solar altitude on the visible reflectance varied ratios, commonly associated with car productivity parameters. These ratios varied inversely with solar altitude. . The use of band ratio techniques or imagery adjustments for shadow must consider the effect of solar altitude on the reflectance spectra of different colored automotive paint mosaic. The multi-temporal spectral imagery should by normalized for thepaint spectral difference associated with solar altitude differences that occur daily, seasonally, or latitudinally.
Wow thats a lot of BS from me. Atleast it's all said and done.

I though it already was locked . Oh well.
